Chelsea v Sunderland Betting Preview – Premier League 21st May 3.00pm
Chelsea sent out a much-changed side in a midweek win over Watford at Stamford Bridge. The victory kept their great stretch of form going though and they will celebrate the end of the season with the trophy at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. It will be bittersweet though because it will also be a farewell party for John Terry in Premier League action for the club as well. The relegated Sunderland are just going to be there to make up the numbers and aren’t likely to spoil the party.

Chelsea have scored at least three goals in four of their last five league matches now as well, so there should be goals. The Black Cats were awful in a home defeat against Swansea last weekend and while they offered up some resistance at Arsenal in midweek, they ultimately slumped again to another 2-0 loss.
