Chelsea vs Wolverhampton prediction, H2H and probable lineups - November 8, 2025
One of the fixtures of the 11th round of the English Premier League will take place on Saturday at Stamford Bridge in London, where Chelsea will host Wolverhampton. Let’s break down a prediction for this clash, taking into account the current form of both teams and their performances this season.
Match preview
Chelsea approach this next Premier League fixture after a tough away trip to Azerbaijan, where they faced Qarabag. The result was disappointing—the Enzo Maresca-led side failed to overcome the Azerbaijani club, and the game itself left mixed impressions. It’s clear the Londoners are still facing certain challenges.
Things are looking somewhat brighter in the league. After a loss to Sunderland (1-2), the Blues bounced back by defeating Tottenham (1-0) in a crucial London derby. Chelsea now sit seventh with 17 points, but the table is extremely tight—just two points separate them from second place.
It’s important to note that the team’s main star from last season, Cole Palmer, is still unavailable. He continues his recovery from an injury picked up against Manchester United.
Wolverhampton, on the other hand, are enduring a tough spell. The team have lost four straight matches and remain the only Premier League side yet to register a victory this season. After ten rounds, the Wolves have just two points and languish at the bottom of the table, in 20th place.
The defeat to Fulham proved the final straw—the club’s management dismissed head coach Vítor Pereira. A new manager is expected to be appointed after the Chelsea match.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Chelsea are unbeaten in their last three matches.
- Six of Chelsea’s last seven matches have seen over two goals scored.
- Wolverhampton have failed to win in six consecutive games.
- Both teams have scored in each of Wolverhampton’s last five matches.
- These teams met just a week ago in the League Cup, where Chelsea came out on top 4-3.
Probable lineups
- Chelsea: Sánchez - Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella - James, Caicedo, Fernández - Estêvão, Garnacho, Pedro
- Wolverhampton: Johnstone - Hoever, Bueno S., Mosquera, Gomes, Bueno H. - Krejči, Bellegarde, Munetsi - Larsen, Arias
Prediction
Both Chelsea and Wolverhampton matches tend to be high-scoring affairs. I expect another entertaining game with plenty of goalmouth action. While a repeat of the recent seven-goal thriller seems unlikely, there’s every chance we’ll see at least three goals here. My prediction: total goals over 2.5.
