Sunderland Predicted Lineup vs Chelsea

The Black Cats travel to London to face Chelsea this weekend, hoping to continue their impressive form this season. However, despite being level on points, this will be a big test for Regis Le Bris’s side. The Sunderland boss will be well aware that it will be a tough game, but with both Crystal Palace and Brighton coming away from Stamford Bridge with points so far this season, it is by no means impossible for Sunderland to do the same.

Here is our Sunderland predicted lineup to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 2,5 at 3 pm GMT.

Sunderland Predicted Lineup vs Chelsea on October 25

Their defeat at Old Trafford will still be fresh in the mind of Regis Le Bris. He began the game with four at the back; however, he changed this before halftime, bringing on an extra defender as Manchester United threatened to extend their already two-goal lead.

Le Bris may not want to make the same again, and we predict that he will start with a back five in the hope of keeping Chelsea at bay on their home turf and use the counterattack to full effect.
