Similar to their upcoming opponenets, they have also been on a three-match winless streak. Here are the broadcasting/streaming details: Date: Saturday, April 8 Time: 3 pm BST (7:30 pm IST) Venue: Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton TV Channels: The Premier League contest between Chelsea and Wolves will not be broadcast live in the United Kingdom. However, the game will be telecast on Star Sports and Star Sports HD TV in India.
Wolves won 1-0 in the teams’ last Premier League meeting in April and will now bid to win consecutive top-flight games against Chelsea for the first time since winning three straight between 1973 and 1975. That Molineux victory in 2022-23 was the first match after Frank Lampard returned to the Blues as interim manager, with Matheus Nunes – now of Man City – scoring his first Wolves goal in the opening half by sending a powerful strike past goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga shortly after the sacking of Graham Potter. Chelsea have now failed to win on their last three trips to Molineux, earning just one point from those games.
They would be in the bottom half were it not for Everton’s controversial 10-point deduction. This Wolves match may also be their toughest of the quartet of top-flight fixtures they have coming up, as Gary O’Neil’s men are six league matches unbeaten at Molineux and have already claimed the impressive scalps of Manchester City and Tottenham on home soil this season. With key creative outlet Pedro Neto having missed significant time through injury, forward Hwang Hee-chan has been increasingly important to their hopes. Coming into this round of matches, only Liverpool star Mohamed Salah (eight) has scored more Premier League home goals than the six scored by South Korea star Hwang so far this season.
This year’s Premier League match on Sunday gives Wolves and Chelsea an opportunity to produce a magical and merry memorable moment for their own fans to savour. Having lost their last three Premier League away matches, the mood at Chelsea could have been much worse coming into this trip to the Midlands.
But Chelsea also have a player in fine form. Cole Palmer has been involved in nine Premier League goals this season, with the 21-year-old scoring six times and adding three assists since his transfer from Man City. Palmer is following in some impressive footsteps at Chelsea. If he can register one more goal involvement, he will become just the fifth player to reach double figures in a single campaign for the Blues while aged 21 or under after Arjen Robben (2004-05), Eden Hazard (2012-13), Christian Pulisic (2019-20) and Mason Mount (2019-20). As for team news, Chelsea will assess the fitness of midfielder Enzo Fernández after his recent illness while, in an exciting development, big summer signing Christopher Nkunku is pushing to make his first Premier League appearance after coming off the bench against Newcastle in the cup.
They have managed only six victories in 16 league matches and are currently reeling at the 10th spot in the standings. The situation is quite the same for the Wolves, who have won 5 games this season and are now 13th in the table. They will enter the upcoming home fixture against Chelsea after losing the last match to West Ham United by a three-goal margin. Wolverhampton Wanderers were able to show their strength in the attacking third but lacked accuracy.
Here are the team news: Wolves: Jonny and Ruben Neves are both suspended. Sasa Kalajdzic, Chiquinho, Hwang Hee-chan and Boubacar Traore are all injured. Chelsea: Thiago Silva, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Cesar Azpilicueta and Armando Broja are all unavailable due to injury. Chris Sutton offers prediction ahead of Chelsea's Premier League trip to Wolves In his column for the BBC, former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton predicted a 1-1 draw between his former side and Wolves on Saturday: "What a strange decision by Chelsea to bring back Frank Lampard, who was sacked by the club in January 2021, as manager until the end of the season.
