Enzo Maresca will continue his search for a first competitive win as Chelsea boss in the West Midlands this weekend, as the Blues travel to Wolves. The hosts will also be looking for an improved result after suffering defeat on the opening day of the season against Arsenal.
Before Betting On Wolves vs Chelsea
Chelsea will continue their search for a first victory of the new season this weekend when they travel to the Black Country. Maresca will likely have more players to select from for this away fixture, as the transfer of Joao Felix should be completed in time for the Portuguese to play a part. However, the Blues will be hoping for more cohesion after faltering at both ends of the field on the opening day of the season.
But, Chelsea could be forgiven for suffering a 2-0 home loss against Man City, as Maresca fine tunes his squad to find his best line-up. However, Chelsea rarely threatened against the reigning champions, and were slightly fortunate to have not lost by a wider margin. But, this weekend’s showdown against Wolves presents an ideal opportunity to bounce back to form.
Wolves currently sit second-bottom in the Premier League standings after suffering defeat on the opening weekend of the campaign. Gary O’Neil’s side were made to pay for missed opportunities against Arsenal, eventually suffering a 2-0 loss at the Emirates. Wolves conceded the first goal after 25 minutes, before the Gunners added a second with 15 minutes remaining.
The defeat means that Wolves have lost their opening match of the season in each of the last four campaigns. Their overall record across the last two seasons could also be worth examining, as they have lost six of their last seven matches in the Premier League.
