Sunderland can guarantee themselves at least one more season in the English Premier League if they can manage to take all three points from Everton in their home clash at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday, May 11th. The Black Cats earned three huge points at home in their come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Chelsea last Saturday while Everton was busy losing 3-1 on the road at the King Power Stadium to title winners Leicester City. Sunderland can still avoid relegation if they lose or draw to Everton, but they’ll be leaving it to the very last minute if they do.
Sunderland vs Chelsea May 7th – 5Dimes Soccer Betting Preview
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.
