Comments:

League position: 4th Chelsea had now won four of their last seven games in the Premier League. The Blues had now won three consecutive home games in the same Premier League season for the first time since May 2020. Kai Havertz had now scored 50 career league goals (36 in the Bundesliga, 14 in the Premier League).

Comments:

League position: 18th This was Wolverhampton Wanderers' first game following sacking of manager Bruno Lage. Wolves had now equalled the competition record of failing to score a second-half goal in nine consecutive games from the start of a season in the Premier Leaguer; previously by Crystal Palace in 2017-18 and Norwich City in 2021-22. They remained without an away league win since their visit to Everton on 13 March 2022; longer than any other team currently in the Premier League. Wolverhampton Wanderers named eight of a possible nine substitutes.
