Sports Innovation previews the Premier League match between Wolves and Chelsea and offers team stats and betting tips with the latest odds.
Chelsea take the trip to Molineux on Sunday afternoon to face Wolves in the Premier League.
Victory is a must for the third-placed Blues to keep pace with Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League table, having lost crucial ground in recent fixtures.
A 1-0 midweek win at Brighton, meanwhile, snapped Wolves out of a four-match winless run and retained their spot in the top 10.
The eighth-placed hosts now hope to take advantage of Chelsea’s growing list of absentees and recent wastefulness in front of goal to cause an upset in the West Midlands.
