Sunderland host Chelsea at Stadium of Light, Sunderland on Sunday, Nov 8 at 3:00 PM in the Premier League.
Sunderland come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Sunderland and Chelsea have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Sunderland won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Sunderland a slight edge, but Chelsea are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
