Wolves have had a tough time maintaining consistency this season, currently holding the league’s lowest goal count and struggling defensively. They come into this match after a 2-0 defeat against Bournemouth. In that game, José Sá was in goal, with Yerson Mosquera, Emmanuel Agbadou, and Santiago Bueno forming the back three.

The midfield comprised Rodrigo Gomes, João Gomes, André, and Hugo Bueno, while Tolu Arokodare and Hwang Hee-chan led the attack.

Wolves have struggled to find the back of the net in recent matches, experiencing several draws and defeats. The team has focused on being compact and difficult to break down, but scoring opportunities have been limited.

Against Chelsea, Wolves are expected to adopt a low-to-mid block strategy, tightening spaces between lines and aiming to counterattack quickly through their wing-backs once they regain possession.
