CHE vs WOL: Chelsea are badly in a search of a win as they will host Wolves in the Premier League at the Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The Blues have endured a dip in form as they have managed just one win in the last four matches. Everton inflicted an unlikely defeat on them as the Toffees produced a brilliant effort against the Blues.
Richarlison’s solitary goal proved to be the difference between the two teams and Jordan Pickford emerged as the saviour as the Merseysiders added three valuable points to their tally.
With Arsenal sniffing on their shoulders Thomas Tuchel’s side cannot afford to lose more games as it would hand an undue advantage to their London rival.
Top four looked a certain few months ago but Chelsea complicated their own fate and their place in the third position is now in sheer danger. They are scheduled to meet Liverpool in the FA Cup final on 14th May and will try to end the season on a high note.
Their off field problems hasn’t been of great help in the last few matches and the future of the club is also hanging over a thread.
Wolves were expected to finish in one of the European spots on offer this season but they haven’t been at their best in the last few matches. They have lost their last three matches and are in the fear of not reaching the destined spot but they do have a game in hand than the 7th placed West Ham United who lost their Europa League semifinal to Frankfurt and now have to concentrate on the Premier League.
Goals have also dried up as they have failed to score a single goal in the last three matches and have leaked five goals in three matches.
Bruno Lage had a brilliant start to the season after a initial hiccups but it hasn’t been a smooth ride for him.
The Portuguese must resurrect the season with a must win against Chelsea on the road.
