Wolves travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon to take on Chelsea in the Premier League.
The Wanderers are fresh from losing their 4-3 thriller against Manchester United on Thursday night, which ended their seven-match unbeaten run in the process.
Wolves are currently in 11th position in the Premier League table, but can leapfrog Chelsea – who are two points above in 10th – by securing a victory in West London.
Gary O’Neil’s side won the reverse fixture 2-1 as goals from Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty were followed by a Christopher Nkunku consolation.
That victory kickstarted their seven-match unbeaten run in all competitions and although it was brought to a halt by the Red Devils, they’ll be hoping to break one record by beating Chelsea.
Not since the 1974/75 season have Wolves completed the league double over the Blues, but if they manage to do so on Sunday, it will end a 49-year wait.
Chris Sutton makes Chelsea vs Wolves score prediction
Making his prediction ahead of the match, Chris Sutton wasn’t pleased with what he saw from Chelsea in their 4-1 defeat to Liverpool in midweek and for that reason, he expects it to be a tight contest at Stamford Bridge.
“I base these predictions on what I see, and I was painting a positive picture about Chelsea after the little run they went on before the Liverpool game. But Anfield was a reminder of where they are at and, as well as their defensive issues, they are not a free-scoring, nor free-flowing side,” Sutton told BBC Sport.
“Wolves lost to Manchester United on Thursday to end their unbeaten run but we know they will be well organised and carry a threat – whereas Chelsea are still a bitty team, and we don’t know what we will get from them from one week to the next.
“Sutton’s prediction: 1-1.”
A big chance for Wolves
Long gone are the days when teams used to fear playing Chelsea on their home patch. The narrative has now completely switched, teams go there knowing there’s a good chance of securing a victory, and that’s what O’Neil will believe his side can do on Sunday.
The Wanderers will have to be more organised than they were against United, though, as they were sloppy defensively and allowed the visitors far too much space.
If they do the same against Chelsea with the quality they possess, they will be picked off, so they’ll need to keep it tight and then on the counter-attack is where they can flourish.
The hosts will have large spells of possession, but with the quality of Pedro Neto and Matheus Cunha in transition, Wolves can certainly pack a punch here.
