Sunderland Set to Test Chelsea Defence
Sunderland have a history of success against Chelsea in recent meetings with five wins in the last ten fixtures. They average one goal scored per game this season despite their low league position. Chelsea have kept their goals conceded to 0.8 per match across nine games. In their most recent five matches Sunderland recorded one win two draws and two losses. The away side have also shown vulnerability by losing once and drawing once in their last five games. Both teams feature in matches where three or more goals occur at a decent rate according to their season records. This fixture at the Stadium of Light may hinge on whether Sunderland can break through against a Chelsea back line that has been solid away from home.
