Markets & odds
Wolves have won only once, drawn twice and lost nine of their 12 league fixtures at Molineux, so the Blues are the heavy favorites here at 1.75 .
Tip
Wolves are 4.72 to avoid defeat but Chelsea are clearly a much better team right now with a greater amount of firepower and we feel there is greater value in the Over 2.5 goals market at 1.76 given Wolves have scored only 0.83 goals per game at home this season while conceding 2.08 and Chelsea have scored 1.83 and let in only 1.17 per game on their travels.
