The Black Cats travel to Stamford Bridge to take on, arguably their biggest test of the season, as they look to continue their brilliant start to the season.
Sunderland currently sit 7th in the table, after their comfortable 2-0 win against Wolves last time out, thanks to a goal from Nordi Mukiele, and an own goal from ladislav krejčí, in the dying moments.
A win for the Black Cats could see them go up as high as 2nd in the Premier League, unbelievable for a newly promoted side.
Chelsea sit 5th, level on points with Sunderland, only above them on goal difference.
A win for the home side could also see them rise as high as 2nd in the Premier League.
Chelsea have won their last 4 games in all competitions, their last defeat coming against Brighton last month.
Chelsea are struggling with their discipline at the moment, they have received 5 red cards in their last 8 matches in all competitions.
Sunderland have lost 4 of their last 5 meetings with Chelsea, winning 3-2 in 2017, thanks to goals from Wahbi Khazri, Fabio Borini and Jermain Defoe, as they pulled off another great escape under Big Sam.
Marc Guiu could feature against Sunderland l, after his loan spell was cut extremely short after Chelsea sustained some injuries.
Guiu scored 1 goal in 3 matches for the Black Cats, his only goal coming against Huddersfield Town in the EFL Cup 2nd round, Sunderland lost the match on penalties.
