Chelsea's Reece James problem that Frank Lampard needs to solve in time for Real Madrid showdown

Chelsea were unable to properly threaten Wolves' defence on Saturday afternoon in what was a dire performance from the visitors at Molineux.

The Blues had 13 shots throughout the 90 minutes but only tested Jose Sa on one occasion and that was in the first half when Joao Felix shot from outside the box fell straight into the arms of his Portuguese compatriot. Chelsea were unable to make any real clear-cut opportunities despite having 63 per cent of possession in the west Midlands.

Staggeringly, the Blues have had 52 shots over their last three matches in the Premier League, with 12 of them on target, but not one of them has found the back of the net. It's been an issue for Chelsea all season long in front of goal. Their top scorer in the Premier League is Kai Havertz and he only has seven goals to his name despite playing considerably more minutes than anyone else in the squad.
