Ben Foster has made his prediction ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers against Chelsea this Sunday.
Chelsea travel to Wolves on Christmas Eve for a Premier League fixture.
They won a game apiece in last season’s league clashes between the teams, with the home side always coming out on top.
So, will history repeat itself tomorrow?
Match prediction
Ben Foster has tipped Wolves to secure a home win over Chelsea this weekend in the league showdown.
He said via the That’s Football YouTube channel: “This is a really tough one to call. I’m going to go home win. I think Chelsea have got too many young players that will look at it and say, ‘we’re playing on Christmas Eve, away, at Wolverhampton.’ And they’ll have the hump.”
Elsewhere, writing in Sportskeeda this week, Paul Merson has predicted a draw between Wolves and Chelsea on Christmas Eve.
Finally, speaking on talkSPORT this week, Gabby Agbonlahor predicted a Wolves victory over Chelsea.
Wolves vs Chelsea
Chelsea travel to the West Midlands this weekend without several important players, but there should still be more than enough talent in the squad to get a positive result.
The club’s away form desperately needs addressing if there’s any serious ambition of climbing the table.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have collected zero points from their last three away days in the league, losing to Everton, Manchester United and Newcastle United.
It’s worth adding that they were on a three-game winning streak away from home before recent results, so they really need to try rediscover that form on the road.
The Blues go into this festive run of fixtures 10th in the league table. Hopefully, they’ll be in a much brighter spot after games versus Wolves, Crystal Palace and Luton Town during the remainder of December.
