📋 Team News: Sunderland

It looks as if The Black Cats will probably go for a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, beginning the first half with Robin Roefs, Lutsharel Geertruida, Nordi Mukiele, Luke O'Nien, Reinildo, Granit Xhaka, Noah Sadiki, Trai Hume, Enzo Le Fee, Nilson Angulo and Brian Brobbey.

📋 Team News: Chelsea

We’re of the thinking that The Blues seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Robert Sanchez, Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Reece James, Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro.

💡 Prediction

We believe that Sunderland will have to play well to get anything against this Chelsea lineup who we think should score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore predicting a 0-1 advantage for Chelsea at the end of the 90 minutes.

Hoping for a good game.
