Sunderland have had a mixed recent run with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five matches. They have been scoring goals in most games, including a big win away from home. Chelsea, on the other hand, are in poor shape right now—they have lost four of their last five matches, with only one win and a draw in that time. Their form is clearly struggling.

When these two teams met recently, both games had goals, with Chelsea winning one and Sunderland winning the other. Both matches finished 2-1, so their meetings tend to be close with not many goals. With Chelsea's poor recent form and Sunderland looking more stable, this match appears to favor the home side. Sunderland should be able to win this game.
