Leaders Chelsea travel to Wolves and will be very keen to get the bad taste of last weeks upset loss to Everton out of their mouths.
The Wolves, having climbed out of the relegation zone courtesy an impressive win over Tottenham, will be hoping to get something here to avoid slipping back, but I don't fancy the chances this time.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Mick McCarthy's lads did him proud last weekend, completing a league double over top 4 challengers Tottenham with a 1-0 win. The win lifted the side a point out of the relegation zone, and they lie 15th.
Goals seem hard to come by at the Molineux, despite it being home to the Wolves. They've been kept off the scoreboard no less than 6 times, and they've only had 13 home games!
Kevin Doyle is normally played as a lone striker as Mick tries to focus on defence.
Chelsea
It's been a difficult couple of weeks for Chelsea, what will all the media hype surrounding Cole and captain Terry. After blowing a 1-0 lead at Everton, and their chance to pull away from United and Arsenal, Chelsea will have been counting the days to this fixture to try and add to their Premiership tally.
Despite the loss, Ancelotti's Blues responded well in their FA Cup game against Cardiff, where they ran out comfortable winners, 4-1 the final score.
There are no real injury concerns here for the West London side, other than Ashley Cole out due to a long term injury, and I would be amazed if Chelsea didn't score more than once.
Drogba looks to be the best bet to get on the scoresheet and bring Wolves back down to earth.
The Betting Verdict
But Chelsea have proven they can tear apart teams that are light up front, as displayed against Arsenal.
Perhaps Wolves will throw caution to the wind and attack Chelsea, as they really have nothing to lose in a game they are roundly expected to lose.
