Relegation threatened Chelsea and Sunderland will collide on Saturday and a third successive defeat for the Blue can drag them in the relegation zone.
Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho left the club yesterday with mutual consent and it will be intriguing to see how the Stamford Bridge side will line up against the Black Cats.
As far as the team news is concerned, there are two players out injured for the London club in the form of Colombian striker Radamel Falcao and Belgian playmaker Eden Hazard. However, PhysioRoom suggests that the duo are expected to be fit for tomorrow’s game.
Spanish international and former Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas will probably return to the starting XI and partner Nemanja Matic in the central midfield. Gary Cahill may return to partner captain Terry in the defense.
Hazard might be fit but expect Pedro to start in his place with Oscar and Willian behind Costa. Here is Chelsea’s potential starting XI against Sunderland.
