Chelsea suffered a 2-1 defeat to Wolves on Christmas Eve in the Premier League, with Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty scoring for the hosts. Chelsea's performance was marred by missed chances, including a glaring one from Raheem Sterling. Prior to the match, the team was weakened by injuries to key players such as Enzo Fernandez, Reece James, and Sanchez, with Fernandez confirmed to miss the game. Moises Caicedo's absence from the squad also prompted speculation. The loss sees Chelsea equalling several undesirable records and has led to criticism of the players, including Sterling, who was blasted by fans, and manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is said to have four players to blame for the defeat.
