Sunderland are bottom of the Premier League with five points and have gone seven league games without a win. They lost 3-1 at Coventry last weekend, with Omar Alderete sent off, and the Stadium of Light was filled with boos on Thursday as Dinamo Zagreb won 2-0 to end their unbeaten start in the Europa League.

Regis Le Bris retains the backing of the club’s hierarchy for now, and their only league point in the last six came in a goalless draw with Leeds. They will draw some belief from last season, when they beat Chelsea 2-1 home and away.

Alderete serves a one-game ban, but Nordi Mukiele should come through concussion protocols in time to replace him. Daniel Ballard, Habib Diarra and Romaine Mundle will not return until after the international break, and teenage striker Juan Angulo is a doubt. Le Bris rotated heavily on Thursday, so Trai Hume, Reinildo, Enzo Le Fee, Noah Sadiki and Brian Brobbey are expected to return.

Chelsea are fourth after a 2-0 win over Manchester United last weekend, Morgan Rogers scoring before Cole Palmer converted a penalty after Lisandro Martinez was sent off. That ended a two-game losing run that included a Carabao Cup exit on penalties at Liverpool.

Xabi Alonso’s side have had a full week to rest and have tightened up away from home recently, conceding just once in their last two trips. They have also won three of their last four league games, including a 5-1 win over Bournemouth and a 2-0 win at Everton.

Alonso confirmed that Emiliano Martinez is in contention to return after jaw surgery, and Aaron Anselmino and Jordan Henderson are back from injury and illness. Moises Caicedo missed training earlier in the week and is not guaranteed to play, while Jorrel Hato, Maxence Lacroix, Reece James, Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro are all out. Palmer will have a point to prove after being left out of the England squad again.

Sunderland’s double over Chelsea last season shows what is possible, but on current form they will need something special to make it three in a row.
