congrats to all the CFC hater draw and lose predictors :D bravo! TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!! 6 POINTS CLEAR!
I really need to better understand WhoScored rating system. Chelsea leading in every single WhoScored category except for ariel dulas won and tackles yet have a significantly lower overall rating in the 37'. What aspect of the game that WhoScored isn't reporting makes Sunderland's rating so high?
@Cornflake Sorry, wanted to give you a thumb up but hit the wrong side...
Chelsea to follow rest (Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal) and draw here
7 defence players!!! oh come on moyes! You cant stop this.
@Sydalizer- If you replace Fabregas with Matic, Sunderland's XI was only marginally more defensive, in terms of personnel, than Chelsea's first choice team. Playing only 2 CM in the modern era requires they both be defensively astute otherwise you are resigned to chasing shadows and being overawed in the extreme. There is minimal chance of Fabregas starting ahead of Matic against the good footballing teams in the league (unless he is injured like at City) so what were Sunderland to do? I personally would've gone 4-5-1 but Moyes wanted to go man-for-man and in dong so, had to pick 2 DM who are ok at retaining possession. All thing considered, a 1-0 loss to one of the form teams isn't a bad result. Other relegation battlers would/will get beat 3, 4 or 5-0 and we know how important goal difference can be come May.
@SteveHyland I cant agree. Chelsea was incompetent at the offence era. I dont think it be based on from sunderland' defensive power. They gave so much spaces. Conte just looking to win game already. Number of goals for him,doesnt matter. But still the players were not good in the sense of attack. I guess they surprised to play vs so many defensive players and find so many positions. chelsea and conte have a tactic. Players defend,players attack. kante has got a goal, fabregas,matic,moses,alonso... .they are already been at attack. david luiz,alonso,moses. They are chelsea's defence players but they are good at the attack then defence. Chelsea have not defensive tactic. Conte is smart. And he is still trying to learn this league.
I'm going for a shocker here. Sunderland 1/2:0! Chelsea have been struggling and are very average at the back. Hazard not playing is a no 3-4-3 play for Chelsea! Chelsea struggled defensibly against City and against West Brom too! Sunderland are obviously not expected to win here but my guts tell me every strong run comes to an end. Sunderland are fighting to survive in every game and I believe they could halt Chelsea here!
@albgunn shock shock shock. sunderland have no original central midfield. They cant fight with chelsea's midfield. Sunderland: Weak Midfield+Weak Offense+Weak Defence. Chelsea: Strong Defence+Strong Midfield+ Costa on fire! Sunderland Chelsea 0:3/4
A draw 0-0 or 1-1
0-3 chelsea will win
Chalsea will not win. 1X
1x
I expect it a difficult one, but not as difficult as vs West Brom. Pulis is better in stopping big teams than Moyes. Costa will score probably 1-2 goals.
Sunderland 3-0 Chelsea Januzaj duble and Defoe from penalty (red card)
@yervand.beglaryan when you wake up slap urself
@7dana ha ha let us wait and see who slaps who because this is premier league
Sunderland 0-7 Chelsea
Obvious win for chelsea. No doubt.
It would be better for the Premier League if Chelsea lose points (draw at least, even better if Sunderland win) - better for the competition at the top of the table as well as at the bottom. But...
@afx That doesn't make any sense. What's better for the Premier League is when the best teams are as strong as possible, not rigging the competition to maintain some pseudo-fictional level of interest.
@excalibur nonsense
@excalibur Screw 'the best teams'
In the Bundesliga last weekend, bottom placed Ingolstadt beat top placed RB Leipzig. Just saying..... hoping. Ha. I think it'll be a 4-0 or 4-1 Chelsea win. Went for 4-0.
@SteveHyland lol I was shocked by that result as well. However nobody products that. I think Chelsea will win this Match 100℅ unless they get like a red card lol. 3-1 or 2-0 Chelsea cos Hazard seems to be a bit off form and Conte will probably finally rotate in this match.
@denisgrad- In that case, I'm hoping for a red card..... or 4, especially after tonight's result for Arsenal. I think resting players where possible is good for Chelsea but the luxury or not having European games midweeks means it's not paramount. This does seem like a game where Costa especially could be rested and Batshuayi started, ditto for Willian in place of Hazard with Pedro on the opposite side.
@denisgrad I gotta correct my self hazard is not off for but just off scoring form.
@denisgrad cuz he didnt score the last game? :D omg before the week he scored against Man City...
@7dana He has indeed but he had a great opportunity. Before the international break his finishing was much better.
@denisgrad thats true but he was always like this. He doesnt have the kiler instinct like Ronaldo, thats why he is not there yet. But he is a great player anyway and he is completely not out of form. He is in form.
0-2 Chelsea win
Sunderland 0-3 Chelsea. We are flying currently so its an obvious win
Sunderland 0 - 3 Chelsea
Sunderland will lose this 100%
@manutd66 pardon me! You meant arsenal lost the game??
0-0 Sunderland park the double decker bus :)
