Wolves host Chelsea at the Molineux on Saturday. The Blues have appointed Frank Lampard<\/a> as interim coach until the end of the season and he will want to get his side back to winning ways. The hosts have just a single victory in their last seven matches and they sit just a point above the relegation zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolves Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Julen Lopetegui took over after the World Cup and had to try to rescue a side with 12 points from 15 league games. He initially helped Wolves to win four of their next seven including a 3-0 thrashing of Liverpool. Since then, it\u2019s just one win in seven league fixtures, starting with a 1-0 home loss to Bournemouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their only win was 1-0 at home to Tottenham but they lost 2-1 at Newcastle right after and then damagingly lost 4-2 at home to relegation rivals, Leeds. In their last match, they had 72% of the ball at Nottingham Forest but they only produced 0.36 xG before Daniel Podence scored in the 83rd<\/sup>\u00a0minute to grab a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolves Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Winger Chiqunho and striker Sasa Kalajdzic won\u2019t play again this season. Attacker Hwang Hee-Chan and midfielder Boubacar Traore are nearing a comeback from injuries but this match may come too soon. Key midfielder Ruben Neves sits this one out due to suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Podence and Pablo Sarabia should start after good impacts in the last match after coming on at half-time. Hugo Bueno is in line for a recall at the left-back. Joao Moutinho could start deeper alongside Mario Lemina in the absence of Neves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolves Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wolves are in real relegation danger and they need something from this match. They are a lot more open and front-foot under Lopetegui but they still often lack cutting edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They would take a draw here and then hope that teams around them fail to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Blues have had a poor season and sit 11th<\/sup>\u00a0in the table. After a run of one win in 11 matches, Graham Potter survived being sacked and briefly turned results around, beating Leeds 1-0 and then Dortmund 2-0 despite a meagre 40% possession. A 3-1 win at Leicester came next but they allowed 2.52 Expected Goals in a fortunate win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea then drew 2-2 at home to Everton having led twice before a poor 2-0 home loss to Aston Villa, who leapfrogged the Blues in the table. That led to Potter being fired with Bruno Saltor taking over as caretaker. He oversaw a 0-0 home draw with Liverpool where four big chances were missed in a slightly improved performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not clear what sort of side Frank Lampard is going to pick. With just two days of training, he could name a similar XI to that which drew 0-0 vs Liverpool in midweek. Two players who were previously favourites and who could be recalled after midfield Mason Mount and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In attack, Raheem Sterling is fit again and could start. If Lampard uses a back four, then Christian Pulisic will hope to be involved having been a regular in the coach\u2019s first spell. Thiago Silva remains out injured in defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea played better in the week after Potter\u2019s sacking. They have Real Madrid around the corner which could prove a distraction, but they\u2019ll want to go into that one with some confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lampard\u2019s sides tend to be leaky at the back but they usually score a lot more goals than we\u2019ve seen from the Blues in the last six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Stats<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wolves<\/strong> have 1 win in their last 7 PL matches (4 losses)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolves<\/strong> have lost 6 of their last 9 home league matches<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolves<\/strong> have scored 1 or fewer goals in 12 of their last 15 home EPL fixtures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea<\/strong> have won 3 of their last 6 matches (all competitions)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CFC <\/strong>have failed to score in 12 of their last 21 matches (all comps)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CFC<\/strong> have scored 2 goals in a match just 4 times in their last 21 fixtures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verdict<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wolves are desperate for points and it\u2019s not clear what sort of impact Frank Lampard will have. We may see a \u2018new manager bounce\u2019 here with Chelsea nicking a narrow win.
