League position: 10th Following the sacking of Frank Lampard, this was manager Thomas Tuchel's first game in charge of Chelsea. The Blues had now won two of their last nine games in the Premier League (lost five). They had now kept a clean sheet in 30 games in all competitions so far in this season; one more than in 55 games in the previous season.

Comments:

League position: 13th This was Wolverhampton Wanderers' first goalless draw in an away game in the Premier League since their visit to Manchester United on 1 February 2020. Wolves avoided losing three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since November 2018. Conor Coady and Rui Patrício had now equaled Matt Jarvis' club record of 95 starts in the Premier League.
