Wolves welcome Chelsea to Molineux tomorrow as the Premier League resumes following the international break, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side still chasing their first league win of the season.
They currently lie 17th after drawing three and losing one of their first four Premier League games, although a repeat of last season’s result at home to the Blues would see them double their points tally. [via premierleague.com]
Wolves defeated Chelsea 2-1 at Molineux in 2018/19 and the club’s official Twitter channel @Wolves posted some highlights from that game ahead of tomorrow’s clash.
It was a thrilling night under the lights the last time Chelsea came to Molineux!
Same again this weekend for #Molineux130!
