Wolves now arrive at Stamford Bridge looking different both in dugout and direction, having parted ways with head coach Vítor Pereira following a dreadful start to their Premier League campaign.
For Chelsea, momentum is slowly building under Enzo Maresca. They’ve won three of their last four league matches (L1), including a hard-fought 1-0 success at Tottenham that lifted them within touching distance of the top four.
A midweek draw at Qarabag was a small setback, but the Blues’ attacking rhythm is improving, with 13 goals scored across their last three meetings with Wolves.

Chelsea to win
Chelsea look a class above their opponents, and the 9/25 odds with Bet365 for a home win reflect the gulf in form and quality.
The Blues have won three of their last four league games, while Wolves are enduring a nightmare start, winless in their last 14 top-flight matches (D3, L11).
Maresca’s side have lost just one of their last 34 home games in all competitions, and they’ve scored five or more goals in four separate Premier League meetings with Wolves, including a 6-2 thrashing at Molineux last season. The Blue’s superior tempo and confidence should see them through comfortably.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Chelsea beat Wolves regardless of the score
Over 2.5 goals
With both teams trending towards open, high-scoring affairs, over 2.5 goals at 61/100 with Bet365 carries solid value. Chelsea’s attack has come alive, netting 11 goals in their last four league games, and their fixtures against Wolves tend to deliver entertainment with the last two seeing a combined 12 goals scored.
Wolves, for all their struggles, still tend to play in lively contests. Their matches have averaged 1.8 first-half goals, the highest figure in the league this season.
With Chelsea pushing hard from the start and Wolves desperate for points on the board, expect a game played at a good tempo with chances at both ends.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least three goals scored in the game between Chelsea and Wolves.
Estevao to have 1+ shot on target
At just 18, Estevao continues to excite fans with his dazzling performances, and him playing at least one shot on target at 9/25 with Bet365 looks a smart selection.
The Brazilian starlet has impressed in Europe, taking eight shots and three on target against Ajax on matchday three, before opening the scoring in that same fixture. Then also giving the Blues the lead against Qarabag during midweek.
Back on domestic duty, Estevao has averaged more than two attempts per game in recent weeks, and his direct running has become a major feature of Chelsea’s attack. Against a leaky Wolves defence he’ll have plenty of opportunities to get a clear sight at goal.
Tip: Estevao to have 1+ shot on target @ 9/25
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Estevao has at least one shot on target against Wolves
