Wolverhampton is one of the teams committing the most fouls and yellow cards in the league, looking at the last and the current season.
Chelsea on the other hand is one of the teams committing the fewest fouls and yellow cards in the league, looking at the last and the current season.
Also, in the last three games between Wolves and Chelsea (played during the last 5 years) Wolves have won the cards count in two (4-1 and 3-1) and in the third the card count ended 4-4 after Chelsea was awarded no less then 3 cards in very last minutes of the game.
