Wolves, led by Gary O'Neil, suffered a 0-2 away defeat to Arsenal in the opening round of the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium at the end of last week.

Jose Sa had no chance to save when the Gunners took a 1-0 halftime lead after Kai Havertz headed Bukayo Saka's cross into the Wolves net in the 25th minute. Towards the end of the second period, the roles changed when Havertz found Saka with his pass, who scored 2-0 15 minutes before full-time. Goal expectation (xG) was recorded for Arsenal 1.4 -0.6.

Wolves forward Leon Chiwome from Britain, Enso Gonzalez from Paraguay, and Sasa Kalajdzic from Austria are injured.

Wolves (3-5-2) possibly: Sa; Doherty, Mosquera, Toti; R. Gomes, J. Gomes, Lemina, Bellegarde, Ait-Nouri; Hwang, Larsen.

Chelsea, coached by their new Italian mastermind Enzo Maresca, opened their league season with a disappointing and much-hyped home defeat against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, where the champions won three points with a score of 2-0 at the end of last week.

Erling Haaland, the goal king of the last two Premier League seasons, scored superbly from inside the box to the back of the home team's net in the 18th minute from City's Bernardo Silva's pass. Chelsea were to level just before the break, but Nicolas Jackson's equalizer was ruled out for offside after a VAR review.

In the second period, Jackson was in an excellent goal position at the hour mark, but only City keeper Ederson managed to save a shot that was too close to the center of the goal thanks to his excellent reflexes. Mateo Kovacic finished off City's second goal and ended the home team's efforts once and for all. Thanks to his speed, he got hold of the ball and smashed it handsomely from outside the box into the goal in the 84th minute. City also won the goal expectation (xG) by roughly 0.8 - 0.6

Chelsea qualified directly for the final round of the Conference Qualifiers, where they met the Swiss club Servette in the opening round at their home cave at Stamford Bridge on Thursday. After a goalless first half, Christopher Nkunku started the scoring right at the beginning of the second period, who scored from the spot. Almost before full-time, Noni Madueke sent a ball from inside the box into the upper right corner to seal the Blues' 2-0 victory. The latter part will be played in Geneva next Thursday, when it will be determined which of the teams will make it to the Conference League group stage.

Serbian goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic is injured.

Chelsea (4-3-3) possibly: Jörgensen; Veiga, Badiashile, Adarabioyo, Disasi; Dewsbury-Hall, Caicedo, Neto; Nkunku, Guiu, Mudryk.

Chips to Wolves due to history and game advantage

Chelsea played cheerfully in their home opener against City, the champions of the previous four seasons, at Stamford Bridge and would have deserved more than just a bone from that game. However, Wolves are tough on their home ground, as the Blues have been rudely aware of in their two previous visits, having to return to London empty-handed. Wolves have won a total of three consecutive meetings and Chelsea has managed to knock down Wolves only once in the previous eight attempts. The Euro rush against Servette also tires and weakens Chelsea even if they still have a big squad. There are only two days between the opening part of the pair and the Wolves game, so the hosts have a significantly more rest advantage than the previous weekend.

上周末在酋长球场举行的英超首轮比赛中，由加里·奥尼尔率领的狼队客场0-2不敌阿森纳。

第25分钟，卡伊·哈弗茨头球将萨卡的传中打入狼队球门，枪手以1-0领先，何塞·萨没有机会扑救。在第二节结束时，当哈弗茨传球给萨卡时，角色发生了变化，萨卡在比赛结束前15分钟打进了2-0。阿森纳的进球预期(xG)为1.4 -0.6。

狼队前锋利昂·奇沃姆(英国)、恩索·冈萨雷斯(巴拉圭)和萨萨·卡拉季奇(奥地利)受伤。

狼队(3-5-2)可能:Sa;多尔蒂，莫斯克拉，托蒂;R. Gomes, J. Gomes, Lemina, Bellegarde, Ait-Nouri;黄,拉森。

切尔西在新任意大利主帅恩佐·马雷斯卡(Enzo Maresca)的带领下，以一场令人失望的、被大肆宣传的主场败给曼城(Manchester City)开启了新赛季的联赛。上周末，卫冕冠军在斯坦福桥以2-0的比分赢得了3分。

前两个英超赛季的进球之王埃尔林·哈兰德在比赛第18分钟接到曼城球员贝尔纳多·席尔瓦的传球，从禁区内到主队的球门后打入一球。切尔西在中场休息前扳平了比分，但在VAR的复查后，尼古拉斯·杰克逊的进球被判越位无效。

在第二阶段，杰克逊在最后一小时处于绝佳的进球位置，但只有曼城门将埃德森凭借出色的反应能力成功扑出了一脚离球门中心太近的射门。马特奥·科瓦契奇打进了曼城的第二个进球，彻底终结了主队的努力。凭借他的速度，他在第84分钟拿到了球，并在禁区外漂亮地将球打入了球门。曼城的进球预期(xG)也以0.8比0.6的差距领先

切尔西直接晋级了分区预选赛的最后一轮，他们将于周四在主场斯坦福桥迎战瑞士塞尔维特俱乐部。在上半场一球未进后，第二节开始时，克里斯托弗·恩昆库率先进球，他从现场进球。几乎在比赛结束前，诺尼·马杜埃克在禁区内将球送入右上角，帮助蓝军以2-0取得胜利。后者将于下周四在日内瓦进行，届时将决定哪支球队将进入联盟小组赛阶段。

塞尔维亚门将彼得罗维奇受伤。

切尔西(4-3-3)可能:Jörgensen;维加，巴迪亚希勒，阿达拉比约，迪纳西;杜斯伯里霍尔，凯塞多，内托;Nkunku, guu, Mudryk。

由于历史和比赛优势，筹码给了狼队

切尔西在主场对阵前四个赛季的冠军曼城的首战中表现得很愉快，在斯坦福桥的比赛中，他们本应该得到比一根骨头更多的东西。然而，狼队在他们的主场很强硬，就像蓝军在之前的两次客场之旅中所意识到的那样，他们不得不空手而归。狼队已经连续3次取得胜利，而切尔西在之前的8次交锋中只击败过狼队1次。欧洲杯对塞尔维特的冲击也削弱了切尔西的实力，即使他们仍然拥有一支强大的阵容。两队的首场比赛和狼队的比赛之间只有两天的时间，所以东道主比上个周末有更多的休息优势。
