Chelsea face Wolves tonight in their latest Premier League encounter on Monday Night Football, aiming for a crucial victory.
With recent results shaping the table, Chelsea will need to secure all three points to stay competitive in the race for Champions League qualification. While some teams around them have faltered, others have managed to pick up key wins, increasing the pressure on the Blues to deliver.
Wolves, battling relegation and holding the league’s worst defensive record, present an opportunity for Chelsea to capitalize. Fans will be hoping for a dominant performance, but as is often the case in the Premier League, no match comes without its challenges.
Pedro Neto Set to Start?
Pedro Neto is expected to start against his former club Wolves tonight after missing Chelsea’s previous match due to illness. The winger was sidelined with a vomiting virus, which allowed Noni Madueke to take his place in the lineup.
Kieran Gill of the Daily Mail shared the update:
“Pedro Neto didn’t start vs Bournemouth as he’d been suffering from a vomiting virus in the build-up, so Noni Madueke started instead. Neto could return to the line-up vs former club Wolves tomorrow.”
Starting Neto seems like a wise decision, especially considering the emotional and competitive edge he may bring when facing his old team.
Other Updates
In transfer-related news, Enzo Maresca has hinted at potential exits for Axel Disasi and Tosin Adarabioyo, making it clear the club is open to moves for the players.
Additionally, Maresca confirmed that Chelsea will not be activating recall options for Lesley Ugochukwu or Andrey Santos, despite their ongoing need for midfield reinforcements.
Chelsea fans will be eager to see how tonight’s match unfolds as the team looks to gain momentum and maintain their push for a top-four finish.
