Current Form

Chelsea’s Season

The Blues are enduring their most challenging period of the season, winless in their last five Premier League matches (three draws and two defeats). This is their longest run without a victory in a single campaign since their seven-game winless streak between March and May 2023.

What makes this slump particularly noteworthy is the contrast with their earlier form – Chelsea had won five consecutive matches before this downturn. Their recent results include losses against Fulham (1-2) and Ipswich (0-2), alongside draws with Crystal Palace (1-1), Bournemouth (2-2), and Everton (0-0).

The one consistent bright spot has been Cole Palmer, who continues to impress fans with spectacular performances. Leading both the team’s goals (14) and assists (6) charts, Palmer has been directly involved in nearly half of Chelsea’s 41 league goals this season. Nicolas Jackson has also given his precious contribution to the team with 9 goals.

Wolves’ Season

Vitor Pereira’s side arrive at Stamford Bridge in the middle of their own crisis, having suffered consecutive 3-0 defeats to both Nottingham Forest and Newcastle in their first two matches of 2025. These results are part of a concerning pattern that has seen them concede 48 goals this season (together with Leicester City). Only Southampton (50) have conceded more.

However, they’ve shown they can be dangerous going forward. Matheus Cunha has been their standout performer with 10 goals, while Rayan Ait-Nouri has contributed 5 assists. This duo could be crucial to their chances at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea vs Wolves: Recent Head-to-Head Meetings

Date Competition Result
August 25, 2024 Premier League Wolves 2-6 Chelsea
February 4, 2024 Premier League Chelsea 2-4 Wolves
December 24, 2023 Premier League Wolves 2-1 Chelsea
April 8, 2023 Premier League Wolves 1-0 Chelsea
October 8, 2022 Premier League Chelsea 3-0 Wolves

The recent history between these teams has been action-packed, with 21 goals scored in their last five encounters (an average of 4.2 goals per match).

Despite Chelsea’s latest 6-2 victory in their most recent meeting last August, Wolves have gotten impressive results in this fixture, winning three Premier League games before the Blues got their chance to shine. 

This includes a memorable performance last season where Matheus Cunha scored a hat-trick in their 4-2 win at Stamford Bridge, marking their first consecutive away league victories against Chelsea since February 1964.

The Match-Up

Monday’s encounter promises to be an interesting match between two teams struggling for form but historically producing entertaining matches. 

Chelsea’s superior chance creation (2.67 per match) suggests they should dominate possession, but their recent defensive weaknesses, combined with Wolves’ proven ability to hurt them on the counter, may reserve some surprises.

The Blues’ home advantage might be less significant than usual, given Wolves’ recent success at Stamford Bridge. With both teams’ recent defensive records (Chelsea conceding 1.24 goals per match, Wolves 2.29), we could be in for another high-scoring match, particularly with attackers like Palmer and Cunha on the pitch. 

The question isn’t so much whether there will be goals, but rather which team will better address their vulnerabilities to emerge victorious.
