Wolves 1 Chelsea 0 highlights 5/1/11

Wolves are struggling heavy this season and boss Mick McCarthy knows it will take a huge effort from his team to steer clear of the drop especially when thus far this season a lot of their displays have very dreary. However many of their performances haven't been completely hopeless and it's a matter of waiting until a couple of results go their way and the confidence grows from there. Whether it happens tonight against Chelsea is another story. Last season they lost home and away to the champions and as a whole Wolves have lost to Chelsea in their last six matches. If they were to manage a victory against the blues it could possibly see the team rise to 15th in the standings and it would surely be one of Molineux's finest nights.

This time last year, the blues were heading the table and had only lost three times in the league. This time round however, the story has been far less smooth with a run of shoddy results by the club's standards. The champions have only won once since early November and have had a string of downbeat displays since then including a shocking 3-0 home defeat to Sunderland. Despite their shortcomings they are still only 9 points off the top and a victory for Carlo Ancelotti's side tonight could see them back in the top four, providing Tottenham don't get three points at Everton.
