Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, Chelsea will look to climb to the Champions League berth as they welcome Sunderland to their Stamford Bridge on Matchday 9. Cole Palmer has not been sorely missed in October outings and despite his injury, Enzo Maresca’s troops are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Right-back Malo Gusto misses out through suspension, while striker Joao Pedro is back from the Champions League ban. Summer signing Estevao is pushing for a start as well.
The Black Cats, on the other hand, did well to beat Wolverhampton at home at the weekend, but given their inconsistency on the road, there is a big value in betting on the in-form Blues. In their last meeting in London, back in 2017, Chelsea recorded a routine 5-1 win over Sunderland, who will be without Alese, Cirkin, Hjelde, Mundle, Diarra, and Sadiki in Saturday’s game.
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 25 October 2025 at 15:00.
