Chelsea vs Wolves Preview - Matchday-38

Chelsea host Wolves in their final Premier League game of the season tomorrow and they will need a draw to secure their place in the top four.

With Leicester and Manchester United facing each other, the top four race is all set to go down to the wire on Sunday. It will be interesting to see which two sides take up the third and the fourth spots eventually.

Chelsea needed a win to qualify for the Champions League in their last game but they were beaten 5-3 by Liverpool. Lampard will demand a reaction from his players this time.

Wolves are a good team who are capable of beating anyone on their day. Chelsea cannot afford to underestimate them at all.

Furthermore, Nuno’s side have their own ambitions. They are sixth in the table and they can easily drop down to 7th if they fail to win here and Spurs win their game in hand. 

Both teams have a lot to play for and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top here. 

Chelsea have been quite poor at the back and they will have to be at their best against Jimenez, Traore tomorrow.

Chelsea will be without Tomori and Gilmour due to injuries but Wolves have a fully fit squad to choose from.

Kepa; James, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Zouma, Alonso; Kante, Kovacic, Jorginho; Pulisic, Giroud, Willian
