Chelsea vs Wolves head to head

Chelsea stats

We are looking to avoid losing consecutive away league games for the first time since last December - a run of three which included a defeat at Wolves.

Chelsea have not kept a clean sheet in the Premier League since our 3-0 win at Leicester. It’s our longest run without a shut-out since January/February 2020.Chelsea have scored in every away Premier League game this season and have only failed once to find the net in 17 matches since Thomas Tuchel took charge in January (Leeds 0-0 in March).Chelsea have won seven of our last eight Premier League away games on a Sunday. The only exception was our 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa on the final day of last season.Mason Mount (22 years, 340 days) is the youngest Chelsea player to score in four consecutive Premier League appearances. The goal against Everton took him to seven for the season in the competition which equalled his best season in 2019/20.

The last player to score in five in a row in the competition for the Blues was Frank Lampard between April and August 2010.Mount is also the youngest Chelsea player to score 20 Premier League goals for the club.Thirteen of the 18 goals we have conceded this season in all competitions have been scored in the second half.
