by Sridhar Bhamidi in Carabao Cup Predictions
A chance to recalibrate their season comes in the Carabao Cup for Wolverhampton Wanderers as they host Chelsea on Wednesday at the Molineux Stadium. This fourth-round match between the Wolves and the Blues comes with our prediction of more than 2.5 goals.
This is one of the four matches in this round between all-Premier League teams. Wolves won’t be worried about that fact too much, having already defeated West Ham and Everton, their two Premier League counterparts, in the previous rounds. Chelsea played just one round in this year’s competition and have faced League One club Lincoln City.
This game presents a great chance for the Wolves, as they need a bit of positivity since their league campaign is in shambles. For Chelsea, this competition presents a chance to rotate the playing XI and make the best use of their larger squad. Will it be the Wolves who will rise from the depths and find light at the end of the tunnel? Or, will it be Chelsea who will show the strength of their squad?

Wolves - Chelsea: Form Analysis
Wolves lost 3-2 at home against Burnley last weekend with a late stoppage-time strike sealing their fate. That result kept them winless in the league and at the bottom of the Premier League standings (D2, L7), six points adrift of the safety zone.
There’s still some hope for the Molineux fans despite watching that Burnley loss over the weekend, as the Wolves have avoided defeat in two of their three recent matches played here (W1, D1, L1).
Wolves have won two of their last three home matches against Chelsea.
Chelsea are also coming off a late heartbreak, with a stoppage-time goal condemning them to a 2-1 home defeat to Sunderland at the weekend in the Premier League. That leaves them in ninth place in the league standings (W4, D2, L3), although they are staying just three points adrift of the top four teams.
The Blues need to be aware of their poor results on the road, as they could win only two of their last five away games in all competitions (W2, D1, L2). The two defeats have come against Bayern Munich and Manchester United, so the away fans will hope the Blues can step up against a struggling Wolves’ side.

Wolves & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Wolves don’t have too many injury concerns, with only Enso Gonzalez absent due to an injury. Their system is likely to remain 4-3-3, with a lot depending on the performance of Jorgen Strand Larsen. The Norwegian forward scored in their 3-2 loss to Burnley and even took the ire of the fans for missing opportunities.
Summer signing Jhon Arias is yet to sparkle, and this game could be his chance to shine, perhaps starting on the right flank of the forward line. Marshall Munetsi and Rodrigo Gomes will look to add to their count of two goals each in all competitions.
Enzo Fernandes and Moises Caicedo have four goals each for Chelsea.
That has been a bane for the Blues, as their forwards have struggled to lead the line. Enzo has four goals and one assist in all competitions and could add to that tally here.
The Blues will line up in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation with the likes of Estevao, Tyrique George, Jamie Gittens, and Pedro Neto set to add the attacking flair for Chelsea.

Our Wolves vs Chelsea Prediction
Wolves are having a nightmarish season in the Premier League, staying bottom of the standings with only two points from nine matches. There are clouds of uncertainty over the manager’s tenure, which may play into Chelsea’s hand. The Blues come here with consecutive wins after two losses in a row, and they are likely to use this game to test their squad depth.
With such a deep squad at their disposal, Chelsea are likely to keep the goals coming. Our Wolves vs Chelsea prediction is more than 2.5 goals.
Wolves vs Chelsea - Other Interesting Predictions
Estevao to score anytime
With the fight for places in the Chelsea side stronger than ever, a chance here for someone like Estevao will be a chance to shine. He has shown glimpses of his talent, like his brace for Brazil against South Korea, and has also netted goals against Liverpool and Ajax. He will look to add to his tally of four goals in his last six matches for club and country.
