The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Wolverhampton Wanderers take on Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea side in an important clash at the Molineux Stadium on Sunday.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea Preview
Chelsea are currently in 10th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Blues defeated Newcastle United on penalties in the EFL Cup in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this weekend.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, are in 13th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The home side slumped to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of West Ham United last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
