Ba & Mata to Start – Chelsea's Likely XI vs Sunderland

Demba Ba ChelseaChelsea football club registered back to back premier league wins as they defeated an in-form Southampton side on Sunday. Mourinho will look for 3rd consecutive league win when they face Sunderland in midweek.
The Black Cats have performed well under new manager Gus Poyet but can they beat the Blues just like they defeated City at the Stadium of Light, we shall see.
One player who deserves to start this game for Chelsea is Demba Ba. The former Newcastle man completely changed the game after coming on in the second half in place of Essien.
Adding to that, fans were eager to see last year’s best player Juan Mata on the field and he was impressive against the Saints. Expect him to keep his starting place.
Oscar was substituted early on in the game against Southampton because of injury and although he later claimed on Instagram that he is fine, Mourinho should not risk him in midweek.
Schurrle may as well return to the starting XI after starting on bench on Sunday. Mata has mainly been productive on the right, hence Hazard may as well take Oscar’s place as a CAM.
Here is Chelsea’s likely XI vs Sunderland.
