Chelsea continued to fall into the boiling state in the 0-0 draw with Wolves

Chelsea’s form continued to stagnate as they drew 0-0 with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon. The result now makes the London team six points behind the leading team Manchester City, with Man City winning 4-0 against Newcastle United.

Blue’s tried to postpone, saying their team had been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, but their request was denied by Premier League. Chelsea can only field 6 substitutes, only 4 of which are outside players, and choose defender Trevor Chalobah to start in midfield.

Chelsea said request for postponement #WOLCHE because of the outbreak of Covid-19 was rejected.

The Blues have several players absent due to aggressive tests and have named only six substitutes for their 14:00 GMT warm-up at Molineux.#bbcfootball

Chelsea had a slow start to the game, with Wolves’ Daniel Podence finding an own goal, only ruled out for offside. The thick fog surrounding Molineux makes it difficult to see many matches, but the match will not be surprising when the two teams are really inconclusive.

Leandro Dendoncker had an easy header saved by Blue goalkeeper Edouard Mendy just before half-time, before Christian Pulisic was denied by Jose Sa at close range in the late game.

This result means that Chelsea are even further away from the top of the Premier League, and with Wolves, they are still 8th with 25 points.

Thomas Tuchel argued before the game that the game should not have taken the lead, but many football fans argue that Chelsea were able to name a strong enough team, as was the case on social media. Tuchel has made an appeal to not include members of clubs under the age of 23, as those players train in a different bubble than the first team and do not want to risk further flare-ups.

It is not yet known whether Chelsea’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Brentford Boxing Day against Aston Villa is in doubt, but the Blues will be hoping either match can change their current form.
