Chelsea v Sunderland Betting Preview
The Black Cats can head to Stamford Bridge in something of a party mood. They picked up the survival point they needed at Arsenal in the week, and emotionally and physically draining game for them after such struggles this season. So their eye may be off the ball a bit and Chelsea will be keen to finish their title season with a bang, or at least by maintaining their unbeaten home record.

Chelsea v Sunderland Betting Tips
Chelsea would probably like to sign off with a celebratory win in front of their home fans. But more importantly for Mourinho, and something which will likely dial back a possibility of Chelsea coming out and turning on the style, will be to keep their unbeaten home record this season intact. The Blues lost 3-0 at West Brom on Monday night, a defeat which ended their 16 match unbeaten streak which saw them breeze to the title. That loss was only the second time in their last 23 league matches in which they failed to score. Chelsea have not been behind at half time in any home match this season and have been leading at half time in 11 of them. The last four home wins that Chelsea have taken at the Bridge have all been by a one goal margin. The Blues are 11/4 to win by one goal at Bet Victor. Diego Costa is 4/6 favourite in the anytime goalscorer market, with Hazard, Remy and Drogba all even money.
The Black Cats have earned the right to stay in the top flight. They put a huge effort in on Wednesday night at Arsenal to come away with a 0-0 draw. That keeps them safe from the drop, but you wonder if all the mental and physical effort they put into that will see them a bit tired for their trip to Stamford Bridge. The pressure is off so the intensity won’t be there. Sunderland are unbeaten in their last five league games played now, losing just one of their last seven. They have picked up three clean sheets on the bounce now and a half time draw is at 11/8, and they have been level at half time in 13 of their 18 away games this season. They won at the Bridge last season, but aren’t likely to repeat that with just one win in their last ten away games.

Chelsea v Sunderland Predictions
The Blues are unbeaten at home this season and Jose Mourinho will do everything in his powers to ensure that it stays that way. That probably means that this isn’t going to a particularly open or exciting game to watch. As is usual with Chelsea, look for them to sneak a dull one goal margin victory.
