The clash between Sunderland and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge will be one of the televised fixtures on the final day of the 2014-15 Barclays Premier League season.

This match has little riding in terms of points since both teams have nothing to play for. Yet, it will see Chelsea receive the title in front of a packed Stamford Bridge. The last time this ground witnessed a title success was back during the 2010 season. This substantial gap is likely to see frenzied celebrations, while Sunderland fans will also be extremely happy after their team secured Premier League football with a game left.

For much of the season, relegation appeared to be a distinct possibility for Sunderland. However, they have once again repeated the great escape that they achieved last season. A 0-0 draw with Arsenal during the midweek action confirmed the club’s status as a Premier League outfit for next season. This was extremely crucial given the new TV money kicks in from next campaign. Even thoughthis could be Dick Advocaat’s last game in charge of Sunderland, the fans are hoping for an entertaining encounter. Even though Chelsea have not won a match since winning the title, they are back at 1/3 to win against Sunderland, though you can get better odds if you use the promotional code.

In the recent seasons, the north-east club have been a thorn for Chelsea. They have had several positive results including the victory in this fixture last season. This victory brought an end to Jose Mourinho’s amazing unbeaten record at home as a Chelsea manager. As a result of this recent good run of form against the blues, Sunderland are backed at 8/1 for a win. After returning from a hamstring injury, Costa looked fired up for the clash in the 3-0 defeat against West Brom. He is backed at 3/1 to be the first goal scorer in the match.
