Chelsea face a crackdown, wolves need victory

Chelsea and Wolves meet at Molineux on Saturday (9/14). Both Frank Lampard and Nuno Espirito Santo needed victory in this fight.

Both teams started the season on an unpleasant note, with the Blues now 11th with only five points in four matches. While wolves have never even won and only won three points in 17th position.

Even if Lampard and Nuno are unlikely to lose their jobs if poor results continue, this weekend's victory will be a perfect reminder to be realized after the international break.

In this fight, the Blues must be strengthened again by Antonio Rudiger, although the German player will still struggle to recover.

While Pedro will still miss Chelsea's defense with a hamstring injury, Mateo Kovacic, a calf injury, and N'Golo Kante, who has ankle problems, will do the same. Young star Callum Hudson-Odoi, who has suffered an Achilles tendon injury since April, experienced the same situation.

Unfortunately, Lampard is also likely to rest Emerson Palmieri after this player experienced a slight problem with his thigh muscles when defending the Italian national team last week. While Ruben Loftus-Cheek, a calf injury, Reece James, is still struggling with his ankles, and Marko van Ginkel, a knee injury, all three of them out of the Blues team.

From wolf camp, they tend not to have injury problems. Only Matt Doherty, a knee injury, will miss this weekend's game, like Romain Saiss, who is doubtful. While Willy Boly, will not play in this match because they have to undergo suspension.

All the matches played by Frank Lampard's team this season have been played in rather difficult conditions. They only managed to win one match, especially when the Blues met with the promotion team Norwich City and were even defeated by a low score of 3-2.

Chelsea must find a difficult match this weekend, although Wolves also started the season slowly. The two teams have met in 107 matches, where the Blues have won 41 matches between the two matches, and Wolves has won 39 more matches. The rest, both teams have made 27 series.

However, the wolves were unbeaten when they met the Blues last season. His record, won 2-1 at home and drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Estimated alignment

Wolf XI: Patricio; Bennett, Coady, Vallejo; Adama, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Castro; Jimenez, Jota.

Blue XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Christensen, Alonso; Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount; Pulisic, Abraham, Willian.
