It has been a tough start to the season for Wolves and Chelsea, who both tasted defeat at the weekend. But with an EFL Cup quarter-final spot up for grabs, there is plenty to play for at Molineux on Wednesday night.  

These Wolves v Chelsea Betting Stats also offer further insight ahead of Wednesday's EFL Cup clash.

📈 Wolves v Chelsea Form & Tactics

Lyle Foster’s 95th-minute strike at Molineux at the weekend made it nine Premier League games without a win for Wolves, who have picked up just two points. They are rock bottom of the English top flight, already six points adrift of safety.

The EFL Cup has at least provided something for the Wolves fans to cheer about, as their side are in the round of 16. Munetsi and Toru Arokdare were on the scoresheet in the previous round, as they halted an in-form Everton side in their tracks. Prior to that, a late Jorgen Strand Larsen brace helped Wolves overturn their deficit against West Ham and win 2-1 at Molineux.

With 19 goals conceded after nine games, only the Hammers have shipped more goals than Wolves in the Premier League this term, but it is worth mentioning that this has come from just 11.4 xGA. In fact, Wolves have conceded less xG than the likes of Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Aston Villa - they have been unfortunate to have conceded so many goals.

Chelsea have been plagued by inconsistency this season, and they were dealt a 2-1 loss at Stamford Bridge by Sunderland at the weekend. After taking an early lead through Alejandro Garnacho, the Blues struggled to fashion any meaningful chances, as their tally of 16 shots amounted to just 0.9 xG.

Wilson Isidor equalised after 22 minutes, and the Black Cats were able to stand strong against the Chelsea onslaught. Chemsdine Talbi eventually bagged the winning goal for the visitors in the 93rd minute to cap off a courageous performance and send Sunderland into fourth in the league.

📔 Wolves v Chelsea Formation & Team News

Hwang Hee-Chan and Jean-Richer Bellegarde were both doubtful to feature at the weekend, but the former was able to make an appearance from the bench, while the latter was good enough to start and play the full 90. Because of that, Leon Chiwome is the only injured player for Wolves.

Ki-Jana Hoever started at fullback at the weekend, before being replaced by Jackson Tchatchoua after 80 minutes. Matt Doherty was not even listed on the bench.

Enzo Maresca persisted with the centre-back pairing of Trevoh Chalobah and Josh Acheampoing at the weekend, but those two again didn’t look particularly convincing. Tosin Adarabioyo made a brief appearance off the bench and will be pushing to reclaim his starting spot, as will Wesley Fofana, who was an unused substitute.

Cole Palmer remains out, meaning Joao Pedro started in the advanced midfield position against Sunderland, allowing Marc Guiu to make his first start of the season.

Maresca has generally opted to rotate for his midweek fixtures this season, so Facundo Buonanotte will hope to start, as will Estevao, who has looked bright in his limited appearances this season.
