Sunderland vs Chelsea – League Cup Preview and Statistics

Posted on December 17, 2013 by SoccerPunter

Sunderland vs Chelsea for English League Cup at Stadium of Light.

Sunderland manager Gustavo Augusto Poyet Domínguez is running out of ideas. They are at the rock bottom of Premier League table and is on the brink of relegation unless a miracle happens.

On the contrary, Sunderland have won all the past three League Cup matches at their home ground, Stadium of Light. It appears to be a competition that they are entirely focused.

Chelsea led by Jose Mourinho have met expectations in their English Premier League results.

Currently ranked third in EPL table, Chelsea are just two points away from leaders Arsenal.

It would be extremely difficult for Chelsea to focus on several competitions, namely UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Premier League and League Cup. They would have to sacrifice one if not two competitions in order not to overwork themselves.

If we take a look at the H2H statistics, Sunderland have lost all the last 9 matches to Chelsea at Stadium of Light. So it will require a lot of courage for a punter to back Sunderland to win tonight @ odds of 6.50 from bet365.

Chelsea fans with firm belief that their favourite team will continue this impressive feat can back Blues to win @ 1.57 with bet365 currently offering the highest odds as derived from odds comparison.
