Wolves vs Chelsea Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | EFL Cup 2025-26

The Blues are on a two-match winning streak against the Wanderers.

Wolves are all set to host Chelsea for their fourth round fixture of the EFL Cup 2025-26 edition. This is going to be an interesting fixture between these clubs, which will take place at the Molineux Stadium.

Despite being at home, Wolverhampton Wanderers will be under pressure due to their recent performances in the ongoing season. In the previous round of the Carabao Cup, the Wolves took down Everton in what was an easy contest for them. However, their upcoming game is not going to be an easy task.

Chelsea are coming in after facing a defeat at the hands of Sunderland AFC in their Premier League contest. It was an underwhelming effort by the Enzo Maresca-led side. The Blues will be looking to get back to winning ways in the EFL Cup now.

Meanwhile, they have easily outplayed the Wolves in their last two meetings against them.

Players to Watch

Jørgen Strand Larsen (Wolves)

Jørgen Strand Larsen will be looking to step up so that he can help his side in the final third. He has scored two goals in two Carabao Cup appearances this season. The 25-year-old is coming in after scoring a goal in the previous match for Wolverhampton Wanderers, but it was not enough to get them a win.

Alejandro Garnacho (Chelsea)

The Argentine winger was the sole goal scorer for Chelsea in their 1-2 loss against Sunderland. Alejandro Garnacho will be ready yet again to help his side in the attacking front. He is going to lead the attack from the left and is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
