| Gus Poyet: Set to face former club Chelsea |
Chelsea have moved into second place in the Premier League after winning their last two outings against West Ham and Southampton.
Jose Mourinho's side trail leaders Arsenal by four points and he will be looking to keep pace with them by taking all three points on Wearside.
Chelsea have a great record against Sunderland having won 16 and lost one of their last 17 Premier League encounters.
Sunderland go into the game second from bottom of the table, but boosted by the fact they have won their last two home games against Newcastle and Manchester City.
Gus Poyet's picked up a point from their draw at Aston Villa on Saturday, but he will know they will need to maintain their improving home form if they are to steer themselves clear of trouble at the wrong end of the table.
The Uruguayan, who is a big fans' favourite at Chelsea, will be hoping to cause an upset against his old club and earn only Sunderland's third Premier League win of the campaign.
