Chelsea face Wolves at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this evening, with the hosts looking for their first league win since mid-December.
Enzo Maresca’s side last won against Brentford on 15 December, and have since lost to Ipswich and Fulham while drawing with Everton, Palace and Bournemouth. Those results have seen them slip into sixth ahead of kick-off, though they can immediately move back into the top four with a win tonight.
At the other end of the table, Wolves sit precariously in 17th, out of the relegation zone on goal difference alone. New manager Vitor Pereira has managed to steady the ship somewhat, but he knows his side need to pick up points quickly if they are to stay out of reach of the bottom three.
The midlands side have not won in the league since Boxing Day and have a terrible run of fixtures on the horizon with Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool to come.

Chelsea vs Wolves
Chelsea will hope to get their stuttering campaign going again as they welcome struggling Wolves to Stamford Bridge.
Hopes of a title push have faded in recent weeks with Enzo Maresca’s side desperately short of form in a run of five Premier League games without a win.
They will climb back into the top four with a home victory over a visiting team looking to get back on track themselves.
The immediate upturn in fortunes brought about by Vitor Pereira’s arrival has been brought to an end by back-to-back 3-0 defeats, leaving Wolves level on points with 18th-placed Ipswich.
