Blues looking to get back to winning ways at Stamford Bridge after recent slump
Chelsea host Wolves in the Premier League tonight hoping to rediscover their winning form.
While Enzo Maresca was always keen to point out that his side were not in the title race even when they were reeling off successive victories, recent form will have confused him.
The Blues are still arguably enjoying a better season than many predicted after another chaotic summer but are now without a win in five League games following last Tuesday’s dramatic 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.
Struggling Wolves had initially improved under new manager Vitor Pereira but are now without a win in three League games themselves. Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Chelsea vs Wolves is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off time tonight on Monday January 20, 2025.
Stamford Bridge in west London will host the match.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR. Coverage of Monday Night Football starts at 6:30pm GMT.
Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers will also be able to watch on a live stream online via the Sky Go app.

Chelsea remain without defenders Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana, though Trevoh Chalobah could feature for the first time since being recalled from a loan spell at Crystal Palace.
Mykhailo Mudryk is unavailable, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Omari Kellyman are injured. Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia are all doubts for the Blues against Wolves.

Mario Lemina is not expected to be involved for Wolves after Pereira claimed the midfielder wanted to leave the club. Toti Gomes, Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzales and Yerson Mosquera are all injured.
Matheus Cunha is a doubt after suffering with illness this week, though Boubacar Traore is back in training.
Despite their frustrating run of recent draws, Chelsea should surely have enough at home to get past a side in poor form, even if the likes of Palmer, Lavia and Fernandez miss out.
Chelsea to win, 2-0.
Chelsea wins: 45
Draws: 30
Wolves wins: 43
Chelsea to win: 4/11
Draw: 4/1
