Chelsea put defeats to Tottenham and Liverpool behind them with an important 2-0 victory over Manchester United last weekend. The Blues’ next opponents are bottom-of-the-table Sunderland, who they face at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.
Xabi Alonso’s side climbed above Liverpool into fourth place with their latest win, and another three points against Sunderland could see them overtake Brighton in third.
Here is the starting XI Alonso is likely to name for the final game before the November international break. Emiliano Martinez should be available for the Sunderland game after recovering from his jaw injury ahead of schedule.
