WHO LIVES IN A HOUSE LIKE THIS?
On their way to a midweek FA Cup fourth round replay at Villa Park, Chelsea’s hardcore travelling support are unlikely to surf into Birmingham on a wave of anything approaching optimism. Mauricio Pochettino’s side were humiliated in their most recent match against a side from that neck of the woods, having their collective backside handed to them by a Wolves team that was forced to shed many of its best players during the summer and only appointed their inexperienced young manager 10 minutes before the first game of the season. Despite the turmoil in which Wolves were forced to begin the campaign, the manner in which they went to Stamford Bridge and blew Chelsea’s house down came as no great shock. Particularly now that we’ve been told the house in question is only in the early stages of construction.
