Chelsea are on their fourth manager of the season after the club announced that Frank Lampard would finish the season on an interim basis to replace the recently sacked Graham Potter. Lampard’s firing in 2020 is part of what led to the eventual top 4 finish and Champions League victory in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel. Lampard’s managerial record is spotty in the Premier League, but the Blues performances were on a clear trend upward and that continued on Wednesday against Liverpool. Even though Chelsea settled for a goalless draw, the Blues have completely dominated the minutes since N'Golo Kante returned from injury and rejoined the midfield.

The Blues created more than 2 xG in each match against Aston Villa and Liverpool but don't have an actual goal to show for it. Now, Chelsea travel to take on Wolves and the market has moved from +105 to -110 on the three-way moneyline in the last two days. Wolves came from behind on the road to salvage a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday and while Julen Lopategui’s side is safe from relegation for now, the herd is so tightly packed that one downturn in form could see Wolves teetering on relegation once again.

Chelsea’s recent performances haven’t been reflected in the results at all, and I’m going to continue to bet on positive regression for the Blues.
