Chelsea Preview – Can Chelsea grab top four finish?
4th placed Chelsea know that all three points in this upcoming clash against Wolves would guarantee The Blues a top four finish and a lucrative spot in next season’s Champions League which would be a fantastic achievement both for Chelsea and manager, Frank Lampard.
With Leicester City still not out of contention and just one point behind Chelsea, Saturday’s hosts can’t rely on a draw and hope for the best, and having been handed a 5-3 defeat away at Liverpool last time out, Lampard will be demanding a result here at Stamford Bridge.
The positive for Chelsea is that they’ve registered five wins on the trot at home by collecting wins against Tottenham, Everton, Manchester City, Watford and Norwich City amidst an overall home record which stands at a reasonable looking 10-3-5 28/16 and includes seven clean sheets, so the hosts will be confident that they can get the job done here on Sunday.
Wolves Preview – Can Wolves upset their hosts?
Even if Wolves take the spoils at Stamford Bridge, the west midlands visitors can’t improve their current league position of 6th place due to possessing an inferior goal difference to 5th placed Leicester City, but nevertheless, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side bring a three-match unbeaten run into the final day of the season.
3-0 and 2-0 home wins against Everton and Crystal Palace respectively along with a point in a 1-1 draw away from home at Burnley will give Wolves a boost ahead of this clash against Chelsea, especially after suffering recent back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Sheffield United which effectively ended their chances of a Europa League spot.
Overall, it’s been another fairly successful season for Wolves but they’ll be disappointed that they find themselves in 6th place while results away from home haven’t all gone their way in recent times; losses at Liverpool, Watford and Sheffield United were damaging and they may find themselves on the end of a ‘double’ against Chelsea, having lost 5-2 at home earlier in the season.
