Sunderland vs Chelsea Preview

Sunderland will try to recover from a 3-1 defeat to Coventry City when they take on Chelsea on Matchday 10, hoping to claim their second home win of the campaign. The Black Cats have struggled to find the net on their own turf, scoring just once at home so far this season. Their attacking numbers are also modest, with an average of 0.80 goals per home game. Omar Alderete is suspended, while Daniel Ballard and Romaine Mundle remain sidelined through injury, leaving the hosts with defensive concerns.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are brimming with confidence after a convincing 2-0 victory over Manchester United, with Aaron Rogers once again impressing. Joao Pedro remains unavailable, but goalkeeper Emi Martinez could recover in time for the trip. The Blues have been less convincing away from home, winning just 25% of their matches and averaging 1.00 goal per game. However, their overall form is encouraging, and they have won 16 of the last 23 meetings with Sunderland.

Chelsea's historical dominance and Sunderland's scoring problems make the visitors worth backing. Therefore, Chelsea to Win is the main pick, while Under 3.5 Goals looks reasonable given Sunderland's difficulties up front at home ground. Additionally, Rogers to Score or Assist bet boasts big value.

This Premier League match will be played on Sunday, 8 November 2026 at 14:00 in Stadium of Light, Sunderland, England.
