Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Chelsea vs Wolves

Chelsea are preparing to host Wolves in the Premier League on Wednesday, January 27. The Blues are currently without a manager as Frank Lampard was relieved from Chelsea's managerial position on Monday. The Blues are currently 9th in the league table with 11 points behind league leaders Manchester United, meanwhile, Wolves are 14th with 18 points behind United. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction. "What went wrong for Frank Lampard at Chelsea? They were often too open at the back and his expensive forwards did not quite hit it off, which is unfortunate because they are all very good players. "Lampard's departure should bring a reaction from the team in this game, though. It looks like Thomas Tuchel will replace him and he will be watching, even if he is not officially in charge by then. Everyone is playing for their place now. "Wolves will be hoping that Willian Jose is eligible to play after joining on loan, because they need more firepower up front and Chelsea do not have the injured N'Golo Kante to protect their defence, but I am still going with a Blues win." Lawrenson's score prediction: 2-1 source - BBC
