The final game on the Premier League schedule before Christmas will take place on Sunday, as Wolves chase a famous victory for their home fans against Chelsea. The visitors have turned their form around in recent weeks, but this could be a big test on the road for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Before Betting On Wolves vs Chelsea
It has been a good week for Chelsea, with the Blues booking their spot in the final four of the Carabao Cup following victory over Newcastle on penalties on Tuesday. The Blues were also winners in the Premier League last weekend, ending a two-game losing sequence by claiming victory at home against Sheffield United. A second win could see them close the gap on the top six.
Wolves have been in disappointing form over recent weeks, as the Midlands club come into the latest round of matches after winning just once in their last five. Over that period, Wolves have suffered three defeats, and they come into the last round of matches before the Christmas break after going two matches without a victory.
However, Wolves picked up a fine 1-0 win in this exact fixture last term, and they will be looking to record two straight wins against the Blues for the first time since 1975. Meanwhile, the Blues are winless in their last three away matches against the Black Country side, with their last four wins coming under different managers.
This will only be the second time that a Premier League fixture will be played on Christmas Eve, with the previous one seeing Leeds beat Man United in 1995. Both Chelsea and Wolves last played on Christmas Eve back in 1966, with the Blues losing 2-1 against Liverpool, and Wolves claiming a 5-3 success against Derby County.
Wolves vs Chelsea Offshore Odds & Pick
Chelsea are extremely short in the betting for a team that haven’t won away from home against Wolves in three efforts. For that reason, it could be worth taking a chance on the home side landing maximum points.
