Chelsea will host Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) on Monday Night Football as they strive to end a five-game winless streak. Despite demonstrating impressive offensive abilities in their recent match against Bournemouth, Chelsea found themselves chasing an equalizer instead of securing a decisive victory. Their recent form has seen them falter in matches where they were favored to win, including fixtures against Everton, Fulham, Ipswich, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth.
Chelsea's struggles coincide with a period where expectations are high, given their expensive lineup. The team is determined to find their footing as they prepare to face Wolves, a side that comes with its own set of challenges. Wolves have shown resilience on the pitch and are on the double chance at 2/1 with Sky Bet, indicating their potential to upset Chelsea's plans.
A key player under scrutiny is Nicolas Jackson, who has been unable to find the back of the net in his last five appearances. Jackson has taken 16 shots during this period, registering an expected goals figure of 2.21 but failing to convert five significant opportunities. His current form has raised concerns about his impact on the team’s performance.
Meanwhile, Wolves may benefit from the return of Matheus Cunha, which could bolster their chances against Chelsea. As the January transfer window is open, both teams might consider strategic moves to strengthen their squads and improve their standings.
