14:00 Sunday
Maresca’s Chelsea head to the Molineux in hope of securing their first Premier League win at the second time of asking when they face Wolves on Sunday.
Wolves vs Chelsea Prediction
Wolves fell to a 2-0 loss at Arsenal in their season opener last weekend, though they'll fancy their chances of putting their first points on the board on Sunday. That's because they're unbeaten in their last four home meetings with Chelsea, winning three.
Chelsea responded to their 2-0 opening weekend loss to Manchester City with a 2-0 win over Servette on Thursday night. The Blues are unbeaten in their last three away league matches, and have lost only one of their last seven on their travels.
While the visitors may be a little fatigued following Conference League action on Thursday night, they should return to London with at least a point on Sunday.

Both teams scored in both Wolves vs Chelsea matches last season. The Chelsea players are still getting used to Maresca’s setup so their should be space for the home side to exploit.
Romeo Lavia partnered Moises Caicedo in Chelsea’s midfield last weekend. The former managed three tackles and we are tipping him to hit that mark again. Caicedo made two fouls in that match and averaged 1.6 fouls per 90 in the Premier League last season.
