Chelsea will be hoping to kick off a busy festive schedule with a win when they take on Wolves on Christmas Eve.
Les Bleus have lost three of their last five games and will want to avoid defeat to ensure they succeed at Christmas in the more sensible half. They are in tenth place lately, three points ahead of this weekend’s warring sides, who are in 12th place; both sides have been in distant form lately, with the Wolves also squandering 3 of their last five game-high games.
Chelsea won last weekend by beating Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge, but have recently struggled away from SW6 and have now lost 3 consecutive away games. Meanwhile, Wolves are unbeaten at Molineux in six games this season and will be hoping to achieve that. That streak in the new year.
Chelsea lost in their last game to Black Country, with a 1-0 defeat in May this year and have gone three games without a win at Molineux. Their last win was in September 2019, with Tammy Abraham scoring a hat-trick in a 5-2 win.
Here is how you can follow the match:
The match will take place at Molineux, Wolverhampton, on Sunday, December 24 and will kick off at 1:00 p. m.

Pedro Neto is almost a match after his recent absence and would be a very welcome return for Gary O’Neil, who is expected to do without goalkeeper Jose Sa.
Chelsea have been boosted this week with the returns of Christopher Nkunku and Malo Gusto in the League Cup on Tuesday night. Gusto’s return is very welcome with the news that Reece James will be out for a number of months due to a hamstring injury as one of a further ten players out injured.
