Why isn’t Wolves v Chelsea on TV Today?

The Wolves vs Chelsea match won't be shown live on TV or any streaming service in the UK. Originally set for 3pm on Saturday, it wasn't chosen for live coverage. The match was rescheduled because Chelsea is playing in the Conference League play-offs. Instead, Sky Sports will show two other games on Sunday: Bournemouth vs Newcastle and Liverpool vs Brentford.

Wolves vs Chelsea

Wolves and Chelsea both tried to recover after losing their opening weekend games when they met at Molineux.

Both teams had lost 2-0 to last season’s Premier League title contenders. Gary O’Neil’s Wolves were defeated by Arsenal, while Chelsea, dealing with off-field issues, couldn’t beat Manchester City.

Enzo Maresca later got his first competitive win as Chelsea’s manager in the first leg of their Conference League play-off against Servette, though his comments about having too many players at Stamford Bridge surprised some.

Chelsea’s European games caused this match to be moved from Saturday to Sunday, but it wasn’t shown live on TV in the UK.

When was the Wolves vs Chelsea Match?

The Wolves vs Chelsea match kicked off at 2pm BST on Sunday, 25 August, at Molineux. Gary O'Neil had confirmed on Friday that Wolves had no new injury concerns, and Matheus Cunha was ready for "more minutes" after coming off the bench against Arsenal. Nelson Semedo played for the club's U21s on Friday to regain fitness while he was suspended.

Enzo Maresca had made nine changes for the Conference League play-off win over Servette, but likely returned to a similar lineup to the one that lost to Manchester City. Reece James remained suspended and was dealing with a hamstring issue. Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling were training away from the first-team squad, as they had been informed they were no longer needed.

Who Won Wolves vs Chelsea Match?

Chelsea showed their strong attacking skills to give Enzo Maresca his first-ever win as a manager in the Premier League, beating a defensively poor Wolves 6-2.

The first half was evenly matched, with Nicolas Jackson scoring early for Chelsea, but Matheus Cunha quickly equalized for Wolves. Cole Palmer and Jorgen Strand Larsen then each scored right before halftime.

In the second half, Chelsea dominated, with Noni Madueke scoring three goals, all assisted by Palmer. Joao Felix, who came on as a substitute, added a late sixth goal on his second debut for the club. This big win marked the start of the Maresca era, while Wolves will need to improve quickly after their poor performance, which led to many fans leaving the stadium before the game ended.
