Chris Sutton gives his prediction for Chelsea’s Premier League clash vs Wolves

Chris Sutton feels Chelsea and Wolves will settle for a point

Chelsea will next play Wolves in their Premier League fixture and will hope to recover from their embarrassing 4-1 defeat to Liverpool midweek. The loss to the Reds at Anfield was just another reminder that fans need to keep their hopes low for this young Chelsea side who are still in their development phase.

The Reds’ thrashing of Chelsea and their own numerous individual errors served as a further sign that young players are still not fully prepared to take on major Premier League teams.

Now their next stop is Wolves, who themselves came from behind to secure a draw against Manchester United, but Erik ten Hag’s side managed to escape with three points after Kobbie Mainoo’s brilliance.

And now pundit Chris Sutton feels Chelsea and Wolves will share spoils, and he isn’t convinced the West Londoners’ recent form and Liverpool defeat is another example that people will have to lower their expectations, as he told the BBC:

“Wolves lost to Manchester United on Thursday to end their unbeaten run, but we know they will be well organised and carry a threat, whereas Chelsea are still a bitty team, and we don’t know what we will get from them from one week to the next.”

Nkunku finally opened his account against Liverpool and will hope to score and make an impression against Wolves.

The defeat to Liverpool was certainly a big hammer on our progress, and it certainly served as a reminder of where we stand as a team and group. But we need to reassemble and face Wolves, who will certainly carry a big threat in counterattack as we saw them against Manchester United.

We suffered a similar defeat to Newcastle United, but we bounced back in our next game as we saw off Brighton & Hove Albion 3-2. So we need to have that belief, play good football, and avoid individual mistakes because one error and we will certainly get punished by the Wolves.
