Last weekend’s defeat at the hands of Everton has cut Chelsea’s lead over fourth-place Arsenal to just three points and should they falter again when Wolves visit Stamford Bridge on Saturday, they may be dragged fully down into the top four battle.

It’s now just one win in four games for Thomas Tuchel’s side and even that victory was an unconvincing one against a weakened West Ham United.

Saturday sees them welcome Wolves to west London and a chance to get back to winning ways against a team that look to have run out of steam themselves in recent weeks.

Once outsiders for a top four place, Bruno Lage’s team could miss out on European football completely after a run of four wins in five games.

Two of those have been against clubs battling relegation while last week they were comprehensively beaten by Brighton.

Even with the Blues’ struggles recently, Wolves will have to be much, much better to escape defeat on Saturday.

Our prediction: Chelsea v Wolves

Neither team head into this game in the best place but it’s hard to see too far past Chelsea getting back to winning ways.

They were poor against Everton and after Cesar Azpilicueta’s mistake proved costly he could drop out of the side with Tuchel shifting to a 4-3-3.

That change may just allow Chelsea to rediscover their mojo and by full time, it could well be a comprehensive victory.

Our prediction: Chelsea 3-0 Wolves (8/1 at bet365)
