When Chelsea hosts Wolves, their goal is to win three straight games overall.
Last weekend in league play, the Blues defeated Crystal Palace 2-1, while Bruno Lage was fired as the head coach of the Wolves after his club lost to West Ham United 2-0.

That was without a doubt the group’s most impressive performance of the year.
