Can Chelsea Bounce Back To Winning Ways Against Wolves?
The English Premier League continues today as Chelsea take on Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Blues will want to bounce back from their 1nil loss to Everton over the weekend as they look to increase their chances of contending for a top 4 finish, and even push for the the trophy itself.
Although, Wolves will be hosting Frank Lampard's men, I beleive the latter should be able to get nothing less than "a draw" in this game. You might be wondering why I actually stated "a draw", you will definitely get my reason, but let's start with why I think they will get a win:
Wolves Poor Run Of Games: Wolves are presently 13th on the log all thanks to their last 5 games in which they were only able to get 4 points out of a possible 15. Their 4 nil defeat to a depicted Liverpool side, and another dismal display at home to Villa, shows this team are really "out of sort" at the moment.
Chelsea's Overall Performance: Although Chelsea had their 17 matches unbeaten run ended by Everton at Goodison Park(a place that has always haunted them), any team will still be very wary of playing against them(Chelsea). You really don't want to go against a side that could hit at you from different angles(this is what this Chelsea team is at the moment). They will also be on a mission to bounce back from their loss against Everton, and which better team can they have that opportunity against if not an "out of sort" team like Wolves.
Head to Head: In their last 5 games, Chelsea have defeated Wolves 3 times, drawn 1, and lost 1. Futhermore, 2 of these victories have been at their(Wolves) backyard, with the most recent, a 5:2 thumping last season. I believe this could have some sort of Psychological effect on The Wanderers. We've seen this happen against a deplicted Liverpool side for Wolves, and Chelsea's loss to Everton.
Coming to my reason why I said The Blues should, at least, get " a draw":
Although, Wolves look "out of sort" at the moment, Chelsea's injury worries is still a limiting factor for the latter. They will be without the services of Ziyech and Odoi once again, whilst Pulisic isn't fully fit, although, it lost likely he will get playing time according to Lampard. We saw how they struggled against Everton without this 3. They were just too poor with Werner, Havertz, and Giroud performing woefully at the front.
Let's not also forget that Wolves have the advantage of playing at home, and they will also be looking forward to returning to winning ways.
In all, I believe The Blues should take the day, of which, they very much need to if they really want to show their fighting intent and prove they are real title contenders.

Much Love.
It was another hard loss for them.
Many people are saying that chelsea my just be out of form now.
I suppose we shall see in their subsequent matches.
Hmm, I think so too, and this seems to be majorly due to the injury worries they have. Their defense and midfield have been doing well, but their attack have been the root course for their being at out of form
