Chelsea could still salvage their season with a win on Sunday.

Chelsea have already lost to Sunderland this season and they will be looking to avoid another loss especially with European football on the line.
Sunderland were rampant against Everton last week and Chelsea could succumb to the pressure, especially given their dip in form over the previous months.
Team News
Sunderland are expected to be without Romaine Mundle (thigh), Bertrand Traore (knee), Simon Moore (wrist), and Dan Ballard who will serve the final match of a three-game suspension after his dismissal against Wolves at the start of May.
