Sunderland welcome Chelsea to the Stadium of Light this weekends Premiership fixture.
Sunderland will be looking to cause an upset to claw themselves away from the relegation dogfight at the foot of the league.
Sunderland are without Ross Wallace, Dickson Etuhu and Anthony Stokes.
Carlos Edwards is expected to feature at some point after recovering from a broken leg.
A big game for the Scottish International expect him to have a busy afternoon.
Chelsea are without Goalkeeper Petr Cech who is receiving treatment for his ankle.
He is a top quality midfielder who chips in with goals regularly Sunderland will hope he is off his game.
In our last 6 league meetings with Chelsea on Wearside we have Won 3, Lost 2 and Drew 1.
Last time in the league at the Stadium of Light we lost 1 – 2
