Enzo Maresca got his first win as Chelsea boss in midweek but faces a tougher task getting off the mark in the Premier League at Wolverhampton Wanderers today.
The 2-0 UEFA Conference League play-off victory over Servette was far from convincing and the Blues were booed off at half-time with the score still level.
Lots of fans are still unhappy with another chaotic transfer window and the only way to win them over is to start winning games.
But after losing 2-0 at home in their Premier League opener to Manchester City, a visit to Molineux is another tricky game as Wolves claimed plenty of scalps at home last season.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea top betting tips
Gary O'Neil's men beat the Blues at Molineux last term and also defeated Manchester City and Spurs on home soil. That makes a Wolves win tempting at a hefty 7/2 but the caveat is they ended they season badly, with just one victory in their last six at home.
Wolverhampton Wanderers also lost 2-0 at Arsenal in their opener and have sold their best player, Pedro Neto, to Chelsea. So it might be safer going for the half-time draw in this one, which pays 11/8.
Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomes was a card machine last term, collecting 14 yellows and one red, and kicked off his season with another booking at the Emirates last weekend. The Wolves star is 2/1 to go in the book again here.
Liverpool vs Brentford top betting tips
Liverpool impressed in the second half as they saw off Ipswich in their Premier League opener and are red-hot 2/9 favourites for another win at home to Brentford.
The Bees proved they still have a sting by beating Crystal Palace last weekend and the Anfield defence still struggles to convince. So I fancy BTTS in this one at 8/11 and combining that with over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 10/11.
Brian Mbuemo scored for Brentford last week so he looks decent value at 10/11 just to have an effort on target at Anfield.
Nathan Collins should start at the back for Brentford and I like the 6/4 available at Bet365 for him to commit over 0.5 fouls.
AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle top tips
Eddie Howe has found old club Bournemouth a tough nut to crack since becoming Newcastle boss, with just one win in five meetings.
The Magpies are still 5/4 favourites for a win on the south coast today but it's probably safer betting on an open game.
The scorer markets offer a bit of value and Newcastle's star man Alexander Isak is 11/10 at Betfred to open his account this term.
Brentford winger Marcus Tavernier also looks good at evens just to get a shot on target with Bet365.
St Mirren vs Celtic top tips
Celtic haven't put a foot wrong so far in their SPFL Premiership title defence but St Mirren are a team who have caused the Hoops plenty of problems in the past.
Going for corners could be a smart move as the Buddies are likely to test Celtic's defence with plenty of crosses into the box. Over 12.5 flag kicks pays 5/4 with Betfred and I also like over 4.5 St Mirren corners at 7/4 with Unibet.
With Matt O'Riley on his way to Brighton, Celtic will lean on Reo Hatate for creativity in midfield. The Japanese star is 23/10 for anytime scorer with Betfred and 21/10 at McBookie for an assist.

Absolute disgraceful refereeing in the Bournemouth game, these officials should be sacked.

I’m guessing you lost a bet macca lol
I put £100 inplay bet next goal method HEADER at 12/1 so yeah slightly p*ssed off.
Silver lining is they would have said it wasn’t his head lol 👌😅
Frustrating as it is not the kind of reply needed,maybe we should laugh when you lose your bets!
I wasn’t laughing because he lost a bet/if he lost a bet , I was merely saying that was a reply of someone who lost a bet on that game , thanks for input though mate ,

Cheers fellas.
I placed a bet in play for a draw on Newcastle game, Bet365 had settled as a winner but now showing as unsettled, I think there was a var check, what will happen there anyone know?
Unlucky when I do my corner bets mate it`s normally with Hills as they pay out on corners awarded .
Sometimes with the early corners like 1 in the 1st 10 min Bet365 are the only option .
Just had an email from them saying it was settled at incorrect odds and that is going to be settled at odds of 1/200
Makes you wonder whether it’s worth it,settled at incorrect odds,would anyone bet on 1/200,real farce,always happy to take your money off you but definitely don’t like giving it back,hence corner bets etc,corner given but not taken,robbers
