Both Wolves and Chelsea come into this GW2 clash on the back of identical 2-0 defeats in the opening round- Wolves went down to Arsenal while Chelsea were beaten by defending champions Manchester City. Another loss here at Molineux, and one of these teams could find themselves in the relegation zone after this weekend’s round of fixtures.
Here is what the pundits think about this clash
Paul Merson
Sky pundit Merson doesn’t think Chelsea have got their first XI figured out. Adds that he could predict Arsenal’s XI for next month’s match against Spurs today, but simply can’t do the same for CFC.
Merson isn’t also a fan of how new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has frozen out Raheem Sterling, saying that he’s better than many of the other wingers in their current squad.
He’s gone for a 1-1 draw here.
Alan Shearer
Shearer says he “hasn’t got a clue of what to expect from Chelsea” and adds he thought they were never going to win against City despite having some okayish moments in the game.
He says Wolves got into their game against Arsenal in the second half, and has backed WWFC to beat Chelsea here.
Chris Sutton
At the BBC, Sutton says “it’ll be interesting to see the Chelsea team” and also notes that they’ll be in Conference League action in midweek.
Like Merson, he’s gone for a 1-1 draw.
So among these three pundits, none of them think Chelsea can win (two draws and a Wolves win predicted)!
