How the teams line up

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

Sunderland host Chelsea at Stadium of Light in the Premier League 2026/27. We project 1.21 expected goals for Sunderland against 1.72 for Chelsea, and that gap drives our 49% rating for Chelsea. Team news lands about an hour before kick-off, and a key absence can move this more than anything else, so check the line-ups before you bet.
