Did you know?

Since returning to the Premier League in 2018, Wolves have won six of their eight home matches played on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, including a 2-1 victory over Chelsea in December 2018.

Wolves are aiming to avoid three consecutive Premier League defeats for the first time since November 2018, while Chelsea, beaten at Everton on Saturday, last lost back-to-back matches in the competition in December 2019.

Chelsea have only failed to score in one of their last 17 top-flight meetings with Wolves, doing so in a 1-0 loss at Molineux in January 2011.

Tammy Abraham has scored six goals in his four league appearances against Wolves, netting a hat-trick in Chelsea's 5-2 win in this fixture last season.
