Chelsea’s once-promising Premier League campaign is now teetering on the edge. After sitting comfortably in second place during the first 16 matches of the season, the Blues have slipped to fifth on the league table with 37 points. Their recent form paints a worrying picture: winless in their last five games, with three draws and two losses.
This Monday, January 20, Chelsea will host a struggling Wolves side at Stamford Bridge. Wolves sit 17th on the table with just 16 points, flirting dangerously with the relegation zone. Despite their position, Wolves have shown a spark in recent matches, winning two, drawing one, and losing two in their last five outings—an improvement compared to Chelsea’s current slump.
The last meeting between these two sides earlier this season ended in a 6-2 demolition by Chelsea. On that occasion, Noni Madueke stole the spotlight with a hat-trick, while Cole Palmer, arguably Chelsea’s standout performer this season, contributed a goal and three assists in a masterclass performance.
However, this is a different Chelsea now, struggling to rediscover their rhythm. Questions loom over their ability to bounce back from their poor form, especially against a Wolves team that has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Will Chelsea use this fixture to reignite their top-four ambitions, or will Wolves capitalize on the hosts’ vulnerabilities? Stamford Bridge awaits an answer as both teams gear up for a potentially season-defining clash.
Stay tuned as Chelsea seeks redemption, while Wolves aim to pull themselves further away from relegation danger.
