This Week’s Predictions Chelsea - Sunderland
Chelsea’s 86-game unbeaten home record in the League was broken by Liverpool last week, in what was a great game of football. The Blues now face Sunderland as they look to start another impressive haul of unbeaten matches. Manager Phil Scolari knows this should be a certain 3-pointer for the Blues.
