Chelsea v Wolves LIVE commentary and team news: Romelu ... (talkSPORT.com)

Chelsea welcome Wolves at Stamford Bridge this afternoon as they look to end their Premier League slump.Thomas Tuchel's side have only won two of thei.

- Wolves are winless in their last eight away league games against Chelsea (D3 L5), since a 2-1 win in March 1979. - Only bottom side Norwich (19) have failed to score in more different Premier League games than Wolves (16) this season. In fact, the Blues have conceded before half-time in just one of their last 13 Premier League games, doing so twice in their eventual 4-2 defeat to Arsenal. They’ve not lost four consecutive league games without scoring a single goal since March-April 1970 in the top-flight. - Mason Mount is Chelsea’s highest scorer (10) and assister (9) in the Premier League this season, with only Mohamed Salah registering double figures for both goals and assists so far this term. And it doesn’t matter if we are in a race for top four, the last four games is not enough.

takes a deflection and just wide of the post. Poor ball into the box though. Trincao has been superb since coming on - so composed in the box, looks set to get his second.... 70 mins: Sa makes a bit of a mess of a ball over the top, Werner can get on the end of it. Timo Werner did have the ball in the net for the Blues after a smart finish, only for the referee’s whistle to go for the slightest of shoves on Saiss from the German. Romain Saiss should have put Wolves ahead when unmarked in the box from a free-kick, but sent his header into the ground and over the bar.

9/10 Lukaku let down by defence as Chelsea draw with Wolves (ESPN)

Romelu Lukaku scored twice, but it wasn't enough to earn Chelsea the points against Wolves, who came back to draw 2-2.

Was denied by a fantastic save early in the second period but struggled with his end product after that. FW Romelu Lukaku, 9 -- In the first half, he saw his first shot blocked, missed Kovacic's pass after making a good run, then kept Saiss off before hitting a decent shot that was saved. Capitalised on Wolves' mistake and slipped Lukaku through for the second goal. GK Edouard Mendy, 6 -- Had nothing to do until he made a good save to deny Pedro Neto shortly before half-time, though he could have been punished for pushing the ball back into a dangerous area. MF Reece James, 6 -- Often defended well, making a key header to deny Neto at the back post. His late changes weren't enough to hold on to the three points.

It doesn't affect me, but the news is positive and we need it to be resolved." On Lukaku, Tuchel said: "It was a good performance but for sure this is not the time to praise individual players. I don't know if that was the right decision from me but it was a lack of discipline and execution of the match plan. "I don't think the ownership is a reason for a lack of focus. "I reminded the team to execute the match plan with more precision and we did this to go 2-0 up but then we took more risks. "It is not about dropping too low but about the ball structure and losing it in key positions. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel: "Of course [it feels like a defeat]. We started both halves very well and controlled the match with a very offensive approach to this game today with a 5-3-2 formation. But it was in between those two chances that Chelsea thought they had found the breakthrough - and Lukaku really ought to have made no mistake. The German was frank, telling his players to "be more exhausted after games" having seen a drop-off in physical input during recent defeats to Arsenal and Everton. In came Romelu Lukaku and Chrsitian Pulisic to the three-pronged attack. Chiquinho just runs at people and causes problems and we know about the quality of Trincao's finishing.The subs were massive for us in getting the point." We've been to Man Utd and Tottenham and won but we feel we should have had all three here but for a mad five minutes.

What Romelu Lukaku did when substituted vs Wolves as Chelsea ... (Football.London)

The talking points from Chelsea's draw against Wolves as Francisco Trincao and Conor Coady's goals cancelled out Romelu Lukaku's brace.

Beads of sweat would have been on the brow of many when Son Heung-min's goal handed Spurs their lead against Liverpool, and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg's decision to not head the ball towards goal in the dying moments maybe even left some cheering. Even if you accept that Chalobah is not worth a start, it was a surprise to see Cesar Azpilicueta and Reece James swapping positions in the second period. Given a week had been spent on the training pitches, a lot of play did not seem to be flowing naturally, and perhaps Wolves can take some credit for that. However, Chelsea were not in control of the manner of a top team that is in the ascendancy should be. It was a sign that there was a relationship there that could still grow despite the struggles of the season. It wasn't overwhelming from the crowd, but a large number of supporters rose to their feet and clapped, with the 28-year-old returning their applause as he made his way to the sidelines.
