Wolverhampton got off to a poor start in the English League Cup this season, where the team failed early on. After their success in their FA Cup debut against Sheffield United (3:0), the Tramps unexpectedly lost in the second round to Norwich (0:1). In the Premier League championship, the start was crumpled, which led to a change in coach, which was replaced by Bruno Lage. After 35 rounds the “wolves” have chalked up 15 wins and five peaceful outcomes, which corresponds to 50 points and the eighth position in the standings. The team’s performance in the attack line looks very weak, which differed exactly once per match on average. After beating Aston Villa on April 2nd (2:1), today’s hosts suffered three fiascos in a row and drew with Chelsea (2:2) in the last match. Podense, Semedo and Kilman, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to play today.
This season Chelsea are performing poorly for a team with such a squad and ambitions. After a successful start in the group stage of the Champions League, where the pensioners chalked up second place and a ticket to the playoffs, the capital club beat Lille, after which they lost at home to Real Madrid. In the second leg, Thomas Tuchel’s wards managed to recoup, but in extra time they did not keep Karim Benzema and left this draw. The team successfully passed the FA Cup tournament distance, where they beat Crystal Palace (2: 0) in the semi-finals and reached the final, where they will once again play against Liverpool. After 35 rounds of the current season, the Blues have 19 wins and 10 peaceful outcomes, which brought 67 points and the third position in the standings. After losing to Everton (0:1), the Londoners tied with Wolverhampton (2:2). Chillwell, Hudson-Odoi, Kante and Jorginho will not be able to play today.
