“I expect” – Paul Merson gives his prediction for Chelsea vs Wolves | OneFootball

Former Premier League player Paul Merson has given his prediction for Chelsea vs Wolves on Saturday evening at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea take on the Premier League’s bottom club looking to return to winning ways after a disappointing 2-2 draw against Qarabag on Wednesday.

Wolves are without a manager and haven’t won any of their opening ten league matches,  and need to pick up points as soon as possible if they are to stay up.

Chelsea beat Wolves 4-3 last week in a crazy game in the Carabao Cup, which the Blues 3-0 at half time before an awful second half performance.

Chelsea really need to pick up the three points and did the double over Wolves last season, and Merson has given his prediction for the game.

“I expect Chelsea to beat Wolves,” he told Sportskeeda. 

“You don’t sack your manager and wait this long to appoint a new one.

“Wolves are trying to stay up in the Premier League, they should have brought someone in by now.

“They have some tough games coming up after the international break as well. Ideally, the new manager should have joined before this game.

“Now he’ll be here during the international break when some of their players are away and that’s a shambles.

“Prediction: Chelsea 3-0 Wolves.”

Enzo Maresca set to rotate again

Maresca has come under fire for his rotation, and Chelsea have made 85 changes to their starting line-up this season, more than any other Premier League club.

In each of the last five matches across all competitions the Blues have made seven or more changes, and that will likely continue on Saturday evening.

However, whatever team Maresca puts out should be enough to beat Wolves, and it’s vital the Blues turn up and get the job done.
