Chelsea welcome Wolves at Stamford Bridge this afternoon as they look to end their Premier League slump.Thomas Tuchel's side have only won two of thei.

- Wolves are winless in their last eight away league games against Chelsea (D3 L5), since a 2-1 win in March 1979. - Only bottom side Norwich (19) have failed to score in more different Premier League games than Wolves (16) this season. In fact, the Blues have conceded before half-time in just one of their last 13 Premier League games, doing so twice in their eventual 4-2 defeat to Arsenal. They’ve not lost four consecutive league games without scoring a single goal since March-April 1970 in the top-flight. - Mason Mount is Chelsea’s highest scorer (10) and assister (9) in the Premier League this season, with only Mohamed Salah registering double figures for both goals and assists so far this term. And it doesn’t matter if we are in a race for top four, the last four games is not enough.

Incidentally, Tuchel's first game was also a home game against Wolves. That ended 0-0, so let's try to do better this time around. Lukaku and Pulisic both start ...

Romelu Lukaku scored twice, but it wasn't enough to earn Chelsea the points against Wolves, who came back to draw 2-2.

Was denied by a fantastic save early in the second period but struggled with his end product after that. FW Romelu Lukaku, 9 -- In the first half, he saw his first shot blocked, missed Kovacic's pass after making a good run, then kept Saiss off before hitting a decent shot that was saved. Capitalised on Wolves' mistake and slipped Lukaku through for the second goal. GK Edouard Mendy, 6 -- Had nothing to do until he made a good save to deny Pedro Neto shortly before half-time, though he could have been punished for pushing the ball back into a dangerous area. MF Reece James, 6 -- Often defended well, making a key header to deny Neto at the back post. His late changes weren't enough to hold on to the three points.

Chelsea face Wolves this afternoon as they bid to arrest a poor run of form and make sure of a top-four spot in the Premier League.

It doesn't affect me, but the news is positive and we need it to be resolved." On Lukaku, Tuchel said: "It was a good performance but for sure this is not the time to praise individual players. I don't know if that was the right decision from me but it was a lack of discipline and execution of the match plan. "I don't think the ownership is a reason for a lack of focus. "I reminded the team to execute the match plan with more precision and we did this to go 2-0 up but then we took more risks. "It is not about dropping too low but about the ball structure and losing it in key positions. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel: "Of course [it feels like a defeat]. We started both halves very well and controlled the match with a very offensive approach to this game today with a 5-3-2 formation. But it was in between those two chances that Chelsea thought they had found the breakthrough - and Lukaku really ought to have made no mistake. The German was frank, telling his players to "be more exhausted after games" having seen a drop-off in physical input during recent defeats to Arsenal and Everton. In came Romelu Lukaku and Chrsitian Pulisic to the three-pronged attack. Chiquinho just runs at people and causes problems and we know about the quality of Trincao's finishing.The subs were massive for us in getting the point." We've been to Man Utd and Tottenham and won but we feel we should have had all three here but for a mad five minutes.

The talking points from Chelsea's draw against Wolves as Francisco Trincao and Conor Coady's goals cancelled out Romelu Lukaku's brace.

Beads of sweat would have been on the brow of many when Son Heung-min's goal handed Spurs their lead against Liverpool, and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg's decision to not head the ball towards goal in the dying moments maybe even left some cheering. Even if you accept that Chalobah is not worth a start, it was a surprise to see Cesar Azpilicueta and Reece James swapping positions in the second period. Given a week had been spent on the training pitches, a lot of play did not seem to be flowing naturally, and perhaps Wolves can take some credit for that. However, Chelsea were not in control of the manner of a top team that is in the ascendancy should be. It was a sign that there was a relationship there that could still grow despite the struggles of the season. It wasn't overwhelming from the crowd, but a large number of supporters rose to their feet and clapped, with the 28-year-old returning their applause as he made his way to the sidelines.

The hosts started the second half brightly and were awarded a penalty on 55 minutes when Lukaku was caught by Saiss' trailing leg in the box. The Belgium international then doubled their lead just two minutes later with a 20-yard strike. Chelsea had two goals in the first half disallowed before Lukaku opened the scoring with a second-half penalty to bag his first goal for the club in 2022.

Timo Werner with an early shot! Pulisic goes for goal, it's mis-cued, and Werner gets a decent touch on it to send it towards goal. Strong save by Sa; ...

Although still mathematically not yet relegated, as Hodgson conceded, in all likelihood they will be down by the end of Saturday’s game. It will not be the same when he walks away from Watford. And Hodgson admitted there may well be some bemusement in the stands at his return in charge of someone else. It lasted just eight months: after walking away for the final time from Crystal Palace last May, he was back in the dugout at Watford in January. This week, at the age of 74, he once again declared his intention to pack it all in. But there is another curtain closing at the other end of the table. The situation is coming from big knockout matches, a busy schedule and going back to the league to play for points. It surely effects the team but I cannot say to which degree. With four games left, Arsenal (63) and Tottenham Hotspur (61) are closing in as the three teams vie for two Champions League spots. Chelsea have looked a bit predictable at times and been somewhat sluggish. Zaha netted off the bench at Southampton last weekend and earns a recall alongside Jack Butland, Will Hughes, Michael Olise and Odsonne Edouard. Chelsea are really on the ropes here! He could've pulled the trigger earlier, but he tries to chop back inside again and he only wins a corner.
