Following their 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge in October, Sunderland are looking to complete the double over Chelsea for the first time since 2000-01.

Chelsea have lost just one of their last 13 Premier League away games against Sunderland (W10 D2), going down 3-2 in May 2016.

Of all teams to have played in more than five Premier League campaigns, Sunderland have the lowest win rate in their final game of the season, winning just one of their 16 matches (6% - D3 L12).

Chelsea have lost their final league match in just two of the last 14 seasons (W9 D3), going down 3-0 at Newcastle in 2017-18 and 2-1 at Aston Villa in 2020-21.

Chelsea won 2-1 against Spurs last time out, ending a seven-game winless run in the league during which they’d scored just twice (D1 L6). The Blues last won consecutive league games in January/February (a run of four).

Following their 3-1 win at Everton, Sunderland are looking to win consecutive Premier League games for the third time this season after October (v Wolves & Chelsea) and March/April (v Newcastle & Spurs).

Sunderland have recovered a league-high 22 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season. This is the second-most ever by a newly promoted side in a single campaign in the competition, behind only West Brom’s 27 in 2010-11.

This is Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández’s best Premier League season in terms of both goals (10) and goal involvements (14). His last two league goals for the Blues have come from outside the box, after his first 17 all came from inside the area.

No Sunderland player has more Premier League assists than Granit Xhaka this season (6), while only in 2017-18 and 2022-23 (both 7) has he provided more. The Swiss midfielder also provided two assists in his last home game against Chelsea (with Arsenal in May 2023).

Chelsea’s João Pedro has been involved in seven goals in his last nine Premier League appearances (6 goals, 1 assist), and has scored in both of his last two league games against newly promoted opposition.
