Football pundit Paul Merson is backing Chelsea to continue their winning streak against Wolves this weekend.

According to Paul Merson, Chelsea did their job against a weakened Milan side, and also have to face a disorganised Wolves team this weekend, following their sacking of Bruno Lage.

Paul Merson is backing a 2-0 Chelsea victory, and also a goal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

“I watched Chelsea against a weakened AC Milan team in the UEFA Champions League and they weren’t as fluid as Graham Potter would want them to be. That said, they still got the job done and recorded a comprehensive 3-0 win to get their first win of the season in Europe,” he wrote in his Sportskeeda column.

“Reece James was outstanding and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got his name on the scoresheet for the second game running, indicating that Chelsea are slowly starting to find their feet under their new manager.

“Aubameyang didn’t do much against Crystal Palace or AC Milan apart from his goals, but this is what the Blues have needed for a while now – a bonafide goalscorer.

“Kai Havertz and Mason Mount are two fantastic footballers, but they won’t score as many goals as the ex-Arsenal man over the course of a league season. There’s an art to goalscoring and the Gabonese striker seems to have mastered it over the years.

“Wolves have sacked Bruno Lage and if I’m being honest, I can’t believe they let someone like Conor Coady leave. He was the heart and soul of the team and marshalled their backline expertly since they gained promotion to the Premier League, so it just feels like a strange one.”
