Chelsea will hope to begin what is a packed festive fixture schedule with a win as they travel to face Wolves on Christmas Eve.
The Blues have lost three of their past five games and will need to avoid defeat to ensure that they reach Christmas in the top half. They currently sit tenth, three points ahead of this weekend’s opponents, who are in 12th - both sides have been in indifferent form of late, with Wolves also having lost three of their five most recent games.
Chelsea won last weekend, beating Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge, but they have struggled recently away from SW6 and have now lost three successive away matches. Wolves, meanwhile, are undefeated at Molineux in six matches so far this season and will hope to extend this run into the New Year.
Chelsea lost on their last visit to the Black Country, with a 1-0 defeat coming in May of this year and have gone three matches without winning at Molineux. Their last victory came in September 2019, with Tammy Abraham scoring a hat-trick in a 5-2 win.

Chelsea have been boosted this week with the returns of Christopher Nkunku and Malo Gusto in the League Cup on Tuesday night. Gusto’s return is very welcome with the news that Reece James will be out for a number of months due to a hamstring injury as one of a further ten players out injured.
