Pundit Predictions for Wolves vs Chelsea 2024- No backers for a CFC win among Merson, Shearer & Co

WWFC CFC 2024

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.
