With back-to-back wins over Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, Chelsea are eager to knock out newcomers Sunderland to move higher up the table. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has urged his players to maintain their winning streak after thrashing Ajax 5-1 in the Champions League.

Cole Palmer is no longer a regret for Chelsea as despite his injury, The Blues still created jubilant victories.

Right-back Malo Gusto is absent through suspension, while striker Joao Pedro is back after a Champions League suspension. New signing Estevao is also pushing for a start.

Chelsea's opponents Sunderland did well to beat Wolverhampton at home at the weekend, but given their inconsistent away form, no one expected them to cause any problems for the in-form Blues. Chelsea won 5-1 when they last met in London in 2017, with Sunderland set to be without Alese, Cirkin, Hjelde, Mundle, Diarra and Sadiki for Saturday's game.

Experts were asked, and all were in favour of a Chelsea win, the question was by what score. Former manager Harry Redknapp picked 2-1, while former BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson predicted 2-0, which was also the answer of Arsenal legend Paul Merson and former striker Chris Sutton.

The initial odds of the match were already a huge gap when Chelsea conceded 1 and a half goals. The money was down (win 82, lose all). By this morning, the market had chosen the weaker team quite a bit so the price had changed to 97-92. Choosing the home team was still more secure.

The most popular score is still 2-0 with a 7.10 payout. However, most fans predict a hard-fought victory for Chelsea, so 1-0 is priced at 7.9, while 2-1 is priced at 8. A draw is also the choice of some people, with 1-1 priced at 9.2, while the "broken" results are not very attractive, with 3-0 paying 10, and 3-1 paying 11.
