Sunderland chases Europe, Chelsea seeks late win
23 May
Summary
- Sunderland eyes European football with final day victory.
- Chelsea seeks consecutive wins after recent improvement.
- Promoted Sunderland achieved 50-point mark, a rare feat.
Sunderland enters the final day of the season with aspirations of securing European football, currently sitting 10th and with a chance to finish seventh. A victory would propel them past Chelsea in the standings. The team has demonstrated remarkable resilience, recovering 22 points from losing positions this season, the most in the Premier League.
Chelsea, having recently ended a winless streak with a victory over Tottenham, is looking to build momentum. While an incoming manager will be observing, the team has an opportunity to achieve back-to-back league wins for the first time in months. Their historical away record at Sunderland is favorable, with only one loss in their last 13 visits.
Sunderland's season has been a success, marked by promotion and reaching the 50-point milestone, a rare achievement for newly promoted clubs. However, their record in final-day matches has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last 16 season finales.
