Chelsea have won all four of their PL home matches against Wolves, scoring 14 goals and conceding just two.

The Blues have only lost one of their last 53 home league matches against promoted sides, against AFC Bournemouth in December 2015.

Wolves can become the first promoted team to do the PL double over Chelsea since Charlton Athletic in 2000/01.

Wolves have won nine points against the current top six sides, more than any of the other 13 PL sides this season. They have avoided defeat at Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
