Wolverhampton Wanderers — Chelsea : Match Preview and Prediction for October 29,2025

Wolves’ Current Struggles

Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently enduring a dismal season in the Premier League, finding themselves at the bottom of the table with a mere 2 points accumulated from their first nine fixtures. This stark lack of victories has undoubtedly cast a shadow over manager Vitor Pereira, with mounting pressure on his position at the helm of the ‘Wolves’.Last weekend’s league match presented what seemed like an ideal opportunity for the ‘Orange and Blacks’ to halt their losing streak. Playing at home against Burnley, another team struggling to find form early in the season, hopes were high. However, the game concluded in a bitterly disappointing 2-3 defeat.The manner of the loss was particularly cruel: Wolverhampton managed to stage a quick comeback from a 0-2 deficit before halftime, only to concede the winning goal to their opponents in the 95th minute. Such a late and demoralizing defeat is bound to impact the fragile psychology of an already underperforming squad. Given their precarious league standing, the League Cup likely holds little importance for them, especially with only Leon Chiwome reported as an absentee for the hosts against Chelsea.

Chelsea’s Mixed Fortunes

The ‘Aristocrats’ recently disappointed their fanbase with an unexpected 1-2 defeat against Sunderland. Despite Garnacho’s swift opening goal, the ‘Black Cats’ proved resilient. Former Lokomotiv and Zenit forward Isidor quickly equalized, and then ex-Club Brugge player Talbi, a new arrival for the red-whites, clinched another late victory for Sunderland in the 93rd minute.This loss brought an end to Chelsea’s impressive four-match winning streak, a result that, surprisingly, propelled their opponents into the Premier League’s top four. The upcoming match against Wolverhampton offers a strong opportunity for Chelsea to return to winning ways. While the ‘Blues’ will be without Fofana, Badiashile, Colwill, Delap, Mudryk, Esseugo, and Palmer, their considerable squad depth is expected to be more than adequate to compensate for the absence of injured and suspended players.
