Match Facts

Wolves won 1-0 in their last Premier League meeting against Chelsea in April – they haven’t won consecutive top-flight games against them since a run of three between 1973 and 1975.
Since a 5-2 win at Molineux in September 2019, Chelsea are winless in their last three away Premier League visits to Wolves (D1 L2). All four of their away wins at Wolves have been under different managers (Ranieri, Ancelotti, Villas-Boas and Lampard).
This is the second ever Premier League game to be staged on Christmas Eve, after Leeds United 3-1 Manchester United in 1995. Wolves and Chelsea last played on December 24th in 1966; Wolves won 5-3 against Derby while Chelsea lost 2-1 to Liverpool.
Wolves have scored in each of their last 15 Premier League home games. It’s their longest scoring streak at Molineux in the top-flight since a run of 16 between August and March in 1969-70.
Wolves are unbeaten in their last six Premier League home games (W3 D3), last having a longer run without defeat at Molineux between January and August 2019 (10).
Chelsea beat Sheffield United 2-0 at Stamford Bridge last time out – only twice so far in 2023 have they won consecutive Premier League games, doing so in March (v Leeds and Leicester) and October (v Fulham and Burnley).
Chelsea have lost their last three Premier League away games, their second run of three straight defeats in their last 10 on the road. The Blues last lost more consecutively between October and December 2000 under Claudio Ranieri (5).
Coming into this round of matches, only Mohamed Salah (8) has scored more Premier League home goals than Wolves’ Hwang Hee-Chan so far this season (6).
Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling has been involved in six goals in his last six Premier League appearances against Wolves, scoring four and assisting two. Five of these involvements have come in four games at Molineux.
21-year-old Cole Palmer has been involved in nine Premier League goals for Chelsea this season (6 goals, 3 assists). Only three players have reached double figures for goal involvements in a single campaign for the Blues while aged 21 or under – Arjen Robben (16 in 2004-05), Christian Pulisic (13 in 2019-20), Mason Mount (12 in 2019-20) and Eden Hazard (10 in 2012-13).
