Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Chelsea in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Will that goal stun the Blues out of their lethargy though? Only time will tell, but it is absolutely bouncing inside Molineux right now. This would be a huge win in their season.

Marco van Basten in 1988, anybody? What an absolutely superb hit, one that is destined for end-of-season highlight reels. Chelsea have a lot of work to do now.

Podence feels he should have a penalty after James fells him in the box. The flag is up, but for offside against him however and Chelsea are let off the hook.

Lemina! That's probably the best chance of the game. After Fofana concedes a corner off a free-kick delivery, the Wolves man just wrestles at attempt wide.

Molineux comes to its feet for a breakaway down the right flank. The final pass goes awry, yet that won't dampen the spirits of the fans, urging their team forward.
