As depleted Chelsea laboured to a draw in thick Molineux fog, it was hard to escape the feeling that their title hopes are in danger of fading from view.
Thomas Tuchel was furious that the European champions, who had seven positive Covid-19 cases in their ranks, had been forced to face Wolves after the Premier League rejected their appeal for postponement. Chelsea felt playing the game was a risk to health and welfare. The League deemed they had enough fit players and told them to crack on.
The club and the League could argue all night about this and never find an agreement.
