Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Chelsea in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea
An astonishing Matheus Nunes volley means it is Wolves on top against Chelsea in the Premier League so far. This is not the return Frank Lampard would have envisioned, but there's a long way to go. At half-time, it is Wolves 1-0 Chelsea.

There will be one added minute in the first half of this clash.

Felix tries again, and this time Sa is able to make the save as he dips a low shot towards goal. The keeper won't be tested by that.

Now Felix gets into the heart of the attack, but sees his shot blocked. James did well to feed him there.

Costa almost makes it three! That could have been the double for Wolves, were it not for Kepa's keen work. The hosts are on the prowl.
