Wolves vs Chelsea: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today

Chelsea visit Wolves in the Premier League - (ES Composite)

Chelsea will today look to get back to winning ways as they visit Wolves in the Premier League.

The Blues have won six of their eight matches since Liam Rosenior stepped in, with two losses coming at the hands of Arsenal in both legs of the Carabao Cup semi-final.

The most recent of those came on Tuesday night after a hard-to-swallow winner from ex-Blue Kai Havertz.

Rosenior experimented with a new tactical setup for that midweek fixture which did not quite click and it remains to be seen what shape he will employ in the Midlands, especially with Reece James’ availability in doubt.

Wolves, meanwhile, remain on the floor of the top flight, their five-match January unbeaten run now a distant memory.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Wolves vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off today, Saturday, February 7, 2026.

The match will take place at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton.

Wolves vs Chelsea team news

The headline Chelsea team news for this game is that Reece James is a doubt. The Blues captain sat out the semi-final second leg loss to Arsenal, but Rosenior has revealed the defender faces a late fitness test.

The exact same is true of Pedro Neto, who was also a surprise omission against Arsenal.

Filip Jorgensen and Tosin Adarabioyo are both hoping to return to the side at Molineux, while Dario Essugo, Romeo Lavia and Levi Colwill are out with long-term injuries.

Jamie Gittens sustained a hamstring injury during last weekend’s comeback win over West Ham and is set for a long spell on the sidelines with a hamstring tear.

Rob Edwards will have nearly a full complement to choose from, with just two senior players out. One is Toti Gomes, who is recovering from a thigh injury, while Ladislav Krejci has been ill.

Angel Gomes, meanwhile, could make his debut after joining on loan from Marseille.

Wolves vs Chelsea prediction

After a brief New Year’s resurgence, Wolves’ dismal campaign has picked up where it left off.

Now winless in four, they are 18 points adrift of safety with 14 matches to play.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are pushing for the Champions League places and generally impressing as they do so.

Facing a Wolves side with little left to play for beyond pride, Chelsea should fancy their chances.

Chelsea to win, 3-0.
