Sunderland welcome Chelsea to the Stadium of Light on Sunday for a Premier League fixture that pits the league's last-placed team against the Blues. The match is part of the 10th round of the competition, as reported by Gazeta Esportiva.

Broadcast and kickoff

Kickoff is scheduled for 11:00 Brasília time, according to the Brazilian outlet. The game will be broadcast live on Disney+ and ESPN. The Evening Standard also provides information on how to watch the match, noting that Chelsea travel to face a struggling Sunderland side.

Sunderland's difficult start

Sunderland are currently at the bottom of the Premier League standings with only five points. They have not won in several matches, though the exact winless streak is not specified in the available sources. This poor run of form makes the visit of Chelsea a particularly challenging test for the home side.

Team news and lineups

Both Terra and Gazeta Esportiva have published probable lineups for the match, but the details of these lineups are not included in the provided excerpts. Fans will need to wait for official team announcements closer to kickoff to see which players start for either side.

The match is the only Premier League fixture mentioned in the sources for this round, and it offers Chelsea an opportunity to build momentum against a side that has struggled so far this season.
