Chelsea are in danger of sliding adrift in the Premier League title race as they face Wolves this weekend.

The Blues have stuttered with just two wins in their last five matches, including a meek 1-1 draw with struggling Everton on Thursday evening.

Thomas Tuchel is battling with several injury and COVID issues but can still field a strong XI and knows that a victory against Wolves is increasingly important going into the festive period.

Wolves ended a four-game winless streak when they toppled Brighton on Wednesday, with goals not flowing at either end of the pitch for Bruno Lage's men.

They have only scored 13 and conceded 14 in 17 matches so far this term to combine for a league-low total of goals in Wolves matches.

Our prediction: Wolves v Chelsea

Don't expect a thriller. Chelsea could still be without Romelu Lukaku and several attacking players, and Wolves hardly pose a rampant threat.

Both sides boast relatively organised defences, though Chelsea's standards have slipped lately. They've conceded nine goals in their last four games across all competitions.

This is a chance for Chelsea to get back to basics, to do the simple things well, to focus on keeping that clean sheet and nick a winner, probably through Mason Mount who has scored four in four.

Our prediction: Wolves 0-1 Chelsea (11/2 at bet365)
