Chelsea vs Wolves

Thomas Tuchel has made three changes following our defeat at Everton last weekend and a full week to prepare for today's game.

Christian Pulisic replaces Mason Mount in the attack where he is joined by Timo Werner. The referee is Peter Bankes. The defence is unchanged.

Chelsea hosts Wolves in a pivotal Premier League clash, here is how The Pride of London team sees the contest playing out.

The season after season battle that the media has to try and do the Blues down is relentless. Wolves is a stubborn—albeit struggling—side currently, but so are the Blues. I’m going to go with my colleague, Kevin, and predict Big Rom to be the match winner and restore the passion of the Stamford Bridge faithful. It will be a difficult game, partly because it’s Wolves and partly because every game for Chelsea is a difficult game at this moment in time. Chelsea has struggled against Wolves, and this stubborn side has the potential to even cause an upset. After struggling against a struggling Everton, it would be “a Chelsea thing” to also struggle against Wolves due to self-inflicted issues. Wolves proved a struggle earlier in the campaign, but that was on a rainy, foggy day in Wolverhampton with an exhausted and depleted squad.

Incidentally, Tuchel's first game was also a home game against Wolves. That ended 0-0, so let's try to do better this time around. Lukaku and Pulisic both start ...

Chelsea 0-0 Wolves Wolves 0-0 Chelsea Chelsea vs Wolves

Romelu Lukaku scored twice, but it wasn't enough to earn Chelsea the points against Wolves, who came back to draw 2-2.

Was denied by a fantastic save early in the second period but struggled with his end product after that. FW Romelu Lukaku, 9 -- In the first half, he saw his first shot blocked, missed Kovacic's pass after making a good run, then kept Saiss off before hitting a decent shot that was saved. Capitalised on Wolves' mistake and slipped Lukaku through for the second goal. GK Edouard Mendy, 6 -- Had nothing to do until he made a good save to deny Pedro Neto shortly before half-time, though he could have been punished for pushing the ball back into a dangerous area. MF Reece James, 6 -- Often defended well, making a key header to deny Neto at the back post. His late changes weren't enough to hold on to the three points.

Here is your Chelsea gambling guide for Premier League game against Wolves, provided by Mike Malley for Pride of London as usual.

I’ll turn it around just as the Blues will turn it around, and it will all begin early on Saturday. The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge has had a tangible effect on the home team’s effort, with the club world champs scoring first in four of their previous six matches in west London. I think I have to back this trend to continue, so I’ll be watching the Chelsea first goal prop at -295 odds. For my final pick, I’m strictly following the odds and actively going against my better judgement by taking Chelsea on the moneyline at -280. Adaptation is certainly part of the gambling game, so I’m adjusting my strategy greatly for the match against Wolves. I’m avoiding the plus juice at all costs and taking extreme betting favorites with all three picks. Additionally, last weekend’s performance against Everton should have taught the European champions that no club in the English top flight can be taken lightly. These past six days really have been rejuvenating following an extremely difficult period for the Blues. Going a full week without playing a match was probably the best thing that could’ve happened to Chelsea. The team had been fighting for meaningful Premier League points or a place in the next round of an important cup competition since the international break at the end of March and sorely needed a rest.
