Wolverhampton Wanderers scored their only shot on target to draw 1-1 with “Nottingham Forest,” so if they intend to win one of the “nine finals” ahead, as manager Julen Lopetegui put it, they will need to create more chances. This fortunate point lifted them out of the relegation zone, but a three-game winless run still worries “Wolves” fans. The lack of goals, with only 23 scored by “Wolves,” remains the main problem for the hosts, and in their last 12 home games, there were no draws and the team that scored first won. In 29 rounds, “The Yellow-Blacks” have seven wins and draws each, which amounts to 28 points and the 14th position in the league table. Traore, Neves, Coady, Jonny, and Chikinho, who has a knee injury, will be unavailable today.
Chelsea began their life without Graham Potter by playing a goalless draw with Liverpool on Tuesday (0-0). Given the fact that even one point was not enough to lift them into the top half of the table, it shows how far the Blues have fallen in the standings. They have scored only 29 goals in this Premier League season, which is their third-lowest tally after 29 matches in the club’s history, so it is painfully obvious what the new coach should focus on. However, since Frank Lampard is serving as the interim boss until the end of the season, he still has time. Additionally, they have problems on the road, as their win over Leicester City in the last round was their first in nine attempts, four of which they failed to score in. Ten wins and nine draws give them 39 points and the 11th position in the league table. Today, Aubameyang, Silva, Broja, and Azpilicueta will not be able to play, with the latter suffering from a head injury.
