Wolverhampton vs Chelsea

Rock-bottom Wolves prepare to host fifth-placed Chelsea at Molineux Stadium this Friday, 7th February 2026, at 15:00 GMT, in a Premier League clash that sees the hosts desperately seeking points to avoid relegation while the visitors aim to solidify their European qualification hopes.

Wolves vs Chelsea Form & Head to Head

Wolves come into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 2-0 home loss to Bournemouth, a result that further compounds their struggles in the Premier League. Their form over the last six matches across all competitions paints a mixed picture of two wins, two draws, and two defeats. However, their league performances are particularly concerning, with the team failing to win 27 of their last 28 Premier League matches. A more immediate worry for the Molineux faithful is that the home side has failed to score in their last three Premier League outings, with their last four league games also seeing under 2.5 goals scored.

In stark contrast, Chelsea arrive in impressive form, despite a recent 1-0 League Cup defeat away to Arsenal. The Blues have secured five victories from their last six matches across all competitions, showcasing a strong form.

The most recent meeting between these two clubs saw Chelsea emerge victorious with a commanding 3-0 win over Wolves in the Premier League. Looking back at their last six encounters across all competitions, Chelsea have dominated this fixture, winning four times. Wolves' recent victory in this period came in a high-scoring 2-1 Premier League clash.

Wolves vs Chelsea Team News

Wolves will be without the services of T. Gomes, who is currently injured, and T. Chirewa, unavailable due to other reasons. These absences will test the depth of the squad as they battle against a top-tier opponent.

Chelsea face a more extensive list of unavailable players. D. Essugo, L. Colwill, and R. Lavia are all sidelined with injuries. Additionally, M. Mudryk is suspended and will miss the trip to Molineux. There are also doubts surrounding several key players, with R. James, T. Adarabioyo, J. Gittens, and P. Neto all listed as doubtful and will require late fitness assessments.

Wolves vs Chelsea Match Prediction

Wolves appeared to be heading in the right direction with a four-game unbeaten run recently seeing them close the gap on 19th place Burnley.

But Rob Edwards' side have still only won once in the Premier League all season and with the gap to safety 18 points with just 42 left to play for, it's a matter of when and not if they are relegated.

Despite not being at their best, highlighted by the underwhelming Carabao Cup exit at Arsenal, results wise it's been a positive start for Liam Rosenior, who has won all three top-flight games in charge.

If the Blues get the expected victory against the Premier League's bottom club, it will mark their longest winning run in the league since December 2024.

Score Prediction: Wolves 2-0 Chelsea
