Chelsea lost their chance at retaining the English Premier League title several weeks ago and they don’t even have a chance at a top-six finish this season. They don’t have much to play for during the remainder of the 2015/16, but their away match in Sunderland this Saturday, May 7th is crucial for the host team. Sunderland needs as many points as possible over the last three games of the season to climb out of the relegation zone and avoid being dropped down to the second-tier English Championship League next season. Chelsea fought back from a 2-0 deficit at home at Stamford Bridge against Tottenham Hotspur to earn a 2-2 draw last Monday while Sunderland dropped a pair of points by drawing 1-1 at Stoke City. Chelsea’s draw with Spurs enabled Leicester City to win the Premier League crown.
