Sunderland will host Chelsea on 24/05/2026 in the Premier League, a match that promises to be intense. Our experts believe that Sunderland have been in decent form lately, having won three of their last five games, including a convincing 3-1 victory over Everton. However, they have also suffered defeats at the hands of Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, with the latter result seeing them concede four goals. In contrast, Chelsea have been inconsistent, with two wins and three draws in their last five games. They did manage to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1, but also suffered a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup.
Our experts give Sunderland a slight advantage, as they have been playing well at home, while Chelsea have been struggling on the road. Sunderland's chances of winning are estimated to be around 30%, with Chelsea's chances at 43.59% and the probability of a draw at 26.38%. However, our experts believe that Chelsea's experience and quality will ultimately tell, and they predict a narrow win for the Londoners.
Both teams have been affected by injuries, with Sunderland's key player, Johnson, ruled out due to a long-term injury. Chelsea, on the other hand, will miss their star player, Hazard, who is serving a suspension. There are no rumors about the match, and both teams can count on their full squads. In terms of player form, Sunderland's striker, Defoe, has been in good shape, scoring crucial goals in their recent wins. Chelsea's midfielder, Kante, has also been impressive, providing assists in their last two games.

Chelsea is set to face Sunderland in the 38th round of the 2025/2026 Premier League, a crucial match for the Blues as they look to secure a top-half finish. Currently ranking 10th with 52 points from 38 games, Chelsea's recent form has been a mixed bag. In their last five matches, they have shown glimpses of brilliance but also struggled to find consistency. Their 2-1 loss to Sunderland on May 24 was a setback, but they bounced back with a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on May 19. However, their FA Cup exit at the hands of Manchester City on May 16 was a disappointing result. Chelsea then drew 1-1 with Liverpool on May 9, before suffering a 1-3 defeat to Nottingham Forest on May 4. These results suggest that Chelsea is struggling to find its rhythm, and the team will need to regroup if they are to pose a threat to Sunderland. As Chelsea prepares for this crucial match, fans will be eagerly awaiting the team's response to its recent struggles. Will the Blues be able to turn things around and secure a much-needed win, or will Sunderland continue its impressive form and snatch all three points? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - this match will be a thrilling encounter that will keep football enthusiasts on the edge of their seats.
