Chelsea vs Sunderland: Blues to be fired up for record bid

Kick Off: 1500, 21/05/2017

Stadium: Stamford Bridge

Like many punters, we were caught out by just how many changes Chelsea made for Monday night’s 4-3 win over Watford, but hopefully normal service will be resumed when Sunderland visit Stamford Bridge.

Antonio Conte is still likely to shuffle his pack with next week’s FA Cup final in mind, but he will also be keen to set a new Premier League record for most wins in a season.

Looking at the Chelsea vs Sunderland odds, 19/20 for the Blues to prevail 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 is a solid option.

Chelsea’s fringe players didn’t really do themselves any favours when edging out Watford, even if the seven-goal thriller was a more entertaining encounter than most people had expected.

“It’s funny to watch a game and to see both teams score four and three goals,” said Conte, with a wry smile. “When you’ve won the league, you can allow this situation.”

However, the chance to become the first club to record 30 victories in a 38-game season is not lost on the Italian, who usually demands total focus from his players.

He added: “We have the possibility to win 30 games and we have to try to reach this target now. You can write some records. It’s important for the history.”

All the players should be up for this game, but we reckon Pedro could be especially pumped to try and clinch a cup final spot, so 13/10 he scores at anytime is another of our Chelsea vs Sunderland betting tips.

Despite already being relegated, Sunderland put up some stubborn resistance at Arsenal in midweek until finally being undone by a double strike from Alexis Sanchez.
