Can Premier League leaders Chelsea take all three points when they travel to the North-East on Wednesday? After putting together a fantastic winning run, the Blues are up against the bottom side in the table. Ahead of that clash, we’ve picked out a couple of betting tips for you to take a look at.

 

Venue: Stadium of Light, Sunderland.

Kick-off time: 7.45pm Wednesday 14th December 2016.

 

Sunderland vs Chelsea Predictions

 

Top against bottom should really be an easy win, but things aren’t always that certain in the Premier League. However, if Sunderland repeat the performance they put in at Swansea last weekend, this will be over before half time. The Black Cats were awful in that game, and that was another a fellow struggler. They should have been up for that, not meekly heading home with their tails between their legs. The Blues have now won nine straight league games, conceding just twice. Seeing as those two goals came against Tottenham and Man City, we are backing Chelsea to win to nil for our first Sunderland vs Chelsea prediction. That’s priced at 6/5 with Sky Bet.

Our second Sunderland vs Chelsea betting tip here is Diego Costa to score first, given that he’s now clear again as the Premier League’s top scorer. The Spaniard has hit 12 goals already this term, with half of those strikes opening the scoring. He’s been fantastic all season, and he now looks focused on scoring goals, rather than rolling around and winding up opponents. He’s priced at 3/1 with Bet365 to grab the opening goal at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday.

Sunderland vs Chelsea Head to Head Stats

These two met back in May last season, with the Black Cats taking a 3-2 win at the Stadium of Light. The Blues won the last two matches before that, but they’ve only won half of their recent visits to the Stadium of Light. They have managed to score two or more in four of their last six visits.

 

Sunderland vs Chelsea Betting Odds

Chelsea are understandably 4/11 favourites with Coral to continue their excellent winning streak. Given the huge gulf between these teams, this should be too much of a problem for the visiting Blues. We’re backing them to take a comfortable win here. We’re going with a 2-0 here, which is priced at 13/2 with Bet Victor.
