Chelsea
Chelsea are among the strongest teams in the league and should control the ball in front of their own fans at Stamford Bridge, leaving Sunderland to defend for long spells.
Away
Sunderland
A solid mid-table side. Sunderland are hard to break down on the road at Stamford Bridge, but chances can be scarce at the other end too.
