Wolves vs Chelsea head-to-head record

Chelsea did not beat Wolves last season, losing 1-2 at Molineux and drawing 1-1 at the Bridge. Our last win over Wolves in the Premier League was in January 2012 when we won 2-1 with an 89th-minute winner from Frank Lampard at Molineux.

Although Wolves were unbeaten in their two Premier League meetings with Chelsea last season, they lost seven of their first eight games against us in the competition.

We have not lost back-to-back top-flight visits to Molineux since losing three in a row there between December 1972 and March 1975.

None of the last 13 top-flight meetings since October 1968 between Wolves and Chelsea at Molineux have ended level. Chelsea have won six and lost seven. The Blues have won five of the last seven, although Wolves have won two of the last three.

Chelsea's recent record

Chelsea are looking to win consecutive away Premier League games for the first time since December 2018, when we won three in a row.

We have only lost three of our past 26 games in all competitions (excluding shoot-outs), with all defeats coming away from home in the Premier League.

All three of Chelsea’s away Premier League wins in 2019 have been against newly-promoted teams. In eight matches against teams who are not newly-promoted, we have won none, drawn two and lost six of eight games, scoring once and conceding 21 times.

Only Norwich City (10) have conceded more Premier League goals than Chelsea this season (9).

Tammy Abraham stat

Tammy Abraham has scored more goals than any other English player in the top two tiers since the start of last season (including the play-offs), with his second brace of the season, against Sheffield United, taking his total to 30.

Chelsea Milestones

Billy Gilmour is the 744th player to play for Chelsea and the equal 58th youngest at 18 years, 80 days. He is the first Scottish player to make an appearance for the Blues since Steven Watt in 2005.

Mason Mount has become the 49th Chelsea player to make an appearance for England.

Lampard vs Wolves

In his playing career for the Blues, Frank Lampard won four of his five games against Wolves, scoring three times.
