Premier League !! Champions Chelsea Face Sunderland In The Final Match Of The Season ( Drop Your Predictions)
Stamford Bridge on Sunday as Antonio Conte and his charges
prepare to officially lift the Premier League title.
As for David Moyes and his Black Cats , the visitors will be hoping
to at least give their travelling supporters something to remember
at the end of a tumultuous campaign.
Conte’s charges head back to Stamford Bridge on Sunday
preparing to be officially handed the Premier League winners’
trophy, after putting together a remarkable campaign that has seen
the Italian coach claim the title during his first season in England.
Should Chelsea win on Sunday, the club would break the Premier
League record for most wins in a 38-game season which
currently stands at 29.
The Blues’ onward march towards clinching the remarkable feat
started in earnest following some shrewd tactical changes from
Conte having seen his side struggle in the early stages of the
season. The coach’s adoption of a 3-4-3 setup proved to be
decisive throughout their tilt towards the title, and the 47-year-old
deserves much credit for that switch.
The goal that officially won the league for Chelsea
A victory on Sunday would be a fitting end to a memorable league
season for a side that were initially written off as potential winners
last summer. There is incentive from elsewhere too, as the Blues
prepare for an FA Cup final clash with Arsenal in the coming
weeks, and Conte will likely want his side going into that game off
the back of a winning send-off at the Bridge.
Team News-
Conte will be aiming to keep his players fit ahead of the
forthcoming FA Cup finale with the Gunners, but that may not
prevent him from giving most of his title-winning side a run-out in
their last home fixture.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek remains the club’s only doubt with a back
issue, while Thibaut Courtois may stay on the sidelines following
recent ankle troubles.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Begovic; Zouma, Terry, Ake, Azpilicueta, Kante, Chalobah, Kenedy,
Willian, Hazard, Batshuayi
Sunderland possible starting lineup:
Pickford; Jones, O’Shea, Kone, Manquillo, Ndong, Cattermole,
Larsson, Oviedo, Borini, Defoe
