After grabbing an important victory by the thinnest of margins against Swansea last weekend, Jose Mourinho’s men will know they have to beat Sunderland at home to keep alive their Premier League title aspirations. Meanwhile Sunderland will come into this game on the back of an inspired 2-2 draw at the Etihad last night, denting Manchester City’s title hopes.
Gus Poyet has claimed that he will do his all to avoid relegation but the time is surely running out for the former Brighton and Hove Albion manager. Mourinho however will have no problems egging his players up to grab three points at home before the crucial clash to take on Liverpool at Anfield which might just about decide the fate of the Premier League title.
So what will be the Chelsea’s most strongest lineup against Sunderland in the weekend? We here at Soccersouls have the answer.
Goalkeeper:
After grabbing yet another clean sheet against Swansea, Petr Cech looks well placed to win the Golden Glove award this season. Sunderland do possess attacking threats of their own but Cech can well fancy himself yet another shutout in front of the vociferous home faithful.
