Stats reveal Chelsea have missed the MOST big chances in the Premier League this season after the Blues slumped to another loss against Wolves

Statistics showed Chelsea top the list of missed chances as their woeful season continued on Sunday.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side were beaten 2-1 by Wolves at Molineux – their eighth defeat in 18 Premier League matches.

The Blues were left to pay for missing brilliant opportunities before the hosts punished them by scoring twice to claim victory in the Midlands.

This has been a common theme for Chelsea this season and it is no surprise that they lead the Premier League in terms of missed chances this season.

According to Opta, the west London side have created 57 big chances this season and missed 36 of them.

Chelsea suffered their eighth defeat of the Premier League season at Wolves on Sunday.

Raheem Sterling’s shot was saved by Jose Sa after he ignored Cole Palmer and Nicholas Jackson.

Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino regretted missed chances after another defeat

The most notable miss in the defeat to Wolves came from Raheem Sterling, whose shot was saved by Jose Sa after he opted to shoot despite having opportunities to equalize with the unmarked Cole Palmer and Nicholas Jackson.

After the match, Pochettino regretted the missed chances. He said: “We’ve talked a lot from the start about how this group of players is very young.

“They are young in age and this is their first time in the Premier League. They need to feel the adaptation and, of course, it’s about confidence.

“It’s also about quality. It’s about many things.

“We have to score if we want to win games and now it’s difficult because after the game we feel very disappointed.”

“We need to learn from games like these.”

Third-placed Liverpool are close to Chelsea in terms of missed chances, missing 34 of 55.

Meanwhile, league leaders Arsenal are 11th with 25 big chances missed out of 47, while Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are seventh with 31 big chances missed out of 55.
