Premiership - Sunderland vs Chelsea Football betting preview

Chelsea have recovered from the defeat against Barnsley with a thumping defeat under the relegation team Derby. Today they go to take on another team that could be puilled down into the relegation zone, which is Sunderland.

While Sunderland have a very good home record for a side that could go down any time with only 4 losses in 14 games, you can say thats down to the gritting strategy that Sir Alex has instilled in Keane over the many years that he has played at Manchester United which is don't lose at home in any circumstances.

For Sunderland Dickson Etuhu and Anthony Stokes are definitely out with injuries while Carlos Edwards looks set to come back after missing a long while with injuries.

With Chelsea needing to win to maintain pressure with the Premiership, it looks like Anelka and Kalou will probably start up front, as Chelsea look to bombard Sunderland and settle this result before half time. Although with Cudicini in the back, it always looks like Chelsea will leak a goal.

With pressure coming from the board room, and pressures of Frank Lampard getting a new contract or possible a new club, Avram Grant will look to Lampard to net a few goals like he did against Derby and easy all those pressures.
