Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Chelsea stay third in the Premier League table for now, but need to keep an eye on the teams below them. Dropping points from winning positions has been the Blues' main flaw this season. Only Newcastle United and Southampton have dropped more than their 20 this campaign. Wolves stay eighth, having picked up another good result. They're only two points off West Ham United in seventh now and a Europa Conference League place.

Chelsea's late-season travails continue! They've blown a two-goal lead to let Wolves salvage a late draw. Once Lukaku put the Blues 2-0 up around the hour mark with his second goal of the game, it felt like there was no way back for Lage's men. The visitors made good changes though, with Chiquinho supplying his fellow substitute Trincao along with Coady's header in stoppage time.
