Match Facts

  • Chelsea have won their last three home league games against Sunderland by an aggregate score of 11-3, most recently a 5-1 victory on the final day of the 2016-17 campaign.

  • Having won four of their first six Premier League games against Chelsea between 1996 and 2001 (L2), Sunderland have since won just three of their 26 against the Blues (D2 L21).

  • None of the 16 Premier League meetings between Chelsea and Sunderland at Stamford Bridge have been drawn (13 Chelsea wins, 3 Sunderland). It’s the second most played specific fixture without seeing a single draw in the competition, after Fulham at home to Newcastle (17).

  • Only Manchester City (34) have earned more home points in the Premier League in 2025 than Chelsea (33 – W10 D3 L1), with the Blues sole defeat at Stamford Bridge this calendar year coming against Brighton last month.

  • Sunderland have 14 points from their eight Premier League games this season, their best return at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1999-00 when they also had 14 points and won their ninth game.

  • Sunderland are unbeaten in their last 13 away league games against London sides (W4 D9), since a 2-1 loss at Fulham in April 2018. It’s the Black Cats’ longest ever unbeaten league run in the capital.

  • Chelsea failed to score in their first Premier League game of the season (0-0 vs Crystal Palace), but have netted 16 goals in their seven games since. Only Manchester City (17) have scored more in the competition than the Blues this term.

  • Chelsea have the youngest average starting XI age in the Premier League this season (24 years, 116 days), while Sunderland have the third youngest (25 years, 92 days). The Blues are still yet to feature a single player over the age of 28 under Enzo Maresca, with the Italian the only manager (inc. caretakers) in Premier League history not to use a player aged 30+ in any game.

  • Excluding penalties, no team has scored more goals from set pieces in the Premier League this season than Chelsea (8, level with Arsenal). Six of these have come from corners, just one fewer corner goal than they netted in the whole of last season.

  • Sunderland keeper Robin Roefs has conceded six goals (excluding own goals) in the Premier League this season, from an xGoT of nine. His record of preventing three goals is the highest of any Premier League goalkeeper this term.
