Chelsea vs Sunderland form

October is going by in full color at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have won all four matches since the beginning of the month. In the Premier League, The Blues defeated Liverpool (2-1) and Nottingham (3-0). Meanwhile, in the Champions League qualifying round, Estevao and his teammates also won full points against guests Benfica (1-0) and Ajax (5-1).

Thanks to the clearly improved performance, Chelsea has risen to positions that can compete for the domestic championship, and at the same time has a bright chance to win a ticket to continue in the most prestigious playground of the continent.

Chelsea's winning streak is even more commendable when we know that recently, the Stamford Bridge team has had to live without many key players such as Cole Palmer, Liam Delap, Benoit Badiashile and Levi Colwill due to injury.

The heavy investments in the transfer market have paid off. Coach Enzo Maresca can still manage well with the remaining personnel. In particular, the impressive performance of young striker Estevao has significantly improved the Blues' conversion rate of chances into goals.

On the opposite side, Sunderland is the rookie with the most successful start. After a 2-0 victory at the reception of Wolves last weekend, the Black Cats even climbed to 7th place, equal with 14 points with London giants like Chelsea or Tottenham.

Of course, the ambition to compete for the championship with a rookie who has just returned to the Premier League like Sunderland is a far-fetched story. The Northeastern team will try to complete the ultimate task - staying in the league - soon, before calculating whether they are strong enough to conquer a ticket to the European Cup or not.

Comments on the match Chelsea vs Sunderland, 9:00 p.m. October 25: Blue is still brilliant - photo 2 — Chelsea are in impressive form with a 4-match winning streak.

In the last 6 rounds, Sunderland have only lost 1, drawn 2 and won 3. However, away trips are still bringing some insecurity to Black Cats fans. In the most recent away trip, the team under the direction of coach Regis Le Bris had to lose 0-2 at Old Trafford.

Against a home team as enthusiastic as Chelsea, Sunderland's chances of earning points are therefore limited. In the last 5 encounters between the two sides in the Premier League, the away team has only won 1 and lost 4. In the last 13 visits to Stamford Bridge, the team at The Light has only won 2 and lost 11 matches.

Although it is unlikely to create a surprise, Sunderland will likely still create certain difficulties for the home team. It is worth noting that before the trip to London, the Black Cats were unbeaten in all 13 recent away matches against capital teams (won 4 and drew 9).
