For the ninth time in 2023, Chelsea were unable to score in a Premier League game and in turn suffered defeat number 11 of the season. The clash at Molineux was the first for Frank Lampard in his second management spell at Stamford Bridge after previously being sacked in 2021.
Lampard made two changes from the team that drew with Liverpool earlier in the week as Conor Gallagher and Raheem Sterling came in for N'Golo Kante and Ben Chilwell. The two decisions prompted a change in formation with a 4-3-3 tactical set up Lampard's chosen line-up.
Despite dominating the ball, Chelsea tested Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa just once with a further 12 shots heading off target. The goal tally for the Blues of 29 has now been surpassed by the amount of league games played in this campaign of 30.
