Did you know?

Mason Mount has scored in each of his last four Premier League matches for Chelsea. The last player to score in five in a row in the competition for the Blues was Frank Lampard between April and August 2010.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ last six Premier League matches have featured just four goals - two 1-0 wins, two 1-0 defeats, two goalless draws. It’s the fewest goals scored across a six-match spell by any team in the competition since Wigan Athletic in January-February 2009 (also four). Wigan’s match after this run was a 2-1 defeat by Chelsea.

Chelsea conceding at least once in each of their last five Premier League matches is their longest run without a clean sheet under Thomas Tuchel and their longest overall sequence in the competition since January-February 2020, when it was six matches under Frank Lampard).

Reece James has provided five Premier League assists for Chelsea this season in 13 matches. That is one more than he had in his past two campaigns combined, when he provided four assists in 56 appearances.
