Our dominance in recent top-flight matches hasn't been capitalised on, such as against Bournemouth last time out. Maresca's side registered 26 shots against the Cherries, ten of which were on target, but were forced to settle for a point and a 2-2 draw.

Our next opportunity to turn those performances into wins arrives on Monday evening as we host Wolves at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

We beat the same opponents 6-2 at Molineux in August and have found life easier on the road at times this season. Maresca gave his thoughts on the reasons behind that in his pre-match press conference.

'Probably when we play away against teams who sit back we are calmer, we don’t rush,' reflected the Italian. 'Sometimes when we are at home we want to play quick because we want to show to our fans how hard we are trying to win, but this is a mistake.

'Against some teams that press you can attack quick. Like against Bournemouth, they were aggressive and we attacked so many times, so it depends. But probably away from home, because of the behaviour of the other team, it can be better.

'If we win all the games away and we draw some games at home, no matter, but in terms of balance we need to win games at home – and also because we need our fans with us.

'I think the fans can see the effort of the team in every game, and for sure at the end of the game when we win we are all happy. Hopefully, we can give them the three points on Monday.'

Our frustrating run of results means Maresca and the Blues are targeting a first league win of 2025 at the third attempt, following back-to-back draws with Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.

While our head coach knows that the final score is often all that gets the attention, there remains some satisfaction that our performances have been consistently high.

'I have said since the start of the season, it is normal that people judge us on results,' outlined Maresca. 'We are in a business where you are judged on the results, but if we judge the performance of the team I am happy because we create chances.

'I am not happy about the second half against Bournemouth – there is no reason why we changed from the first half to the second half – but in the previous game against Palace, you can see the performance is there.

'Sometimes you don’t win the game, but it is not only Chelsea. If you look at the other teams, except Liverpool, they have all had some moment in the season when they lost two, three or four games in a row. So for sure I would like to win more games, but it’s okay.'

While some might point to the one-sided scoreline from our previous victory over Wolves as a good omen that the three points will be heading to Chelsea again this time around, Enzo stressed that he isn't reading too much into the last meeting.

That 6-2 win seems a long time ago now for both teams and, with a new manager in the Wolves dug-out following Vitor Pereira's arrival to replace Gary O'Neil, Maresca is expecting a very different game the second time around.

'It's not the same manager, it’s not the same idea, you can see. So I don’t think the last game there can be important for us or them,' our head coach concluded.

'It’s a new game, it’s a new manager, it’s a different way to attack, a different way to defend. Hopefully, we can be ready the same way we were for the last game and get the three points.'
