- Chelsea interim boss Calum McFarlane confirmed Levi Colwill and Joao Pedro trained today, stating, 'Both promising and we're hopeful they'll be fit for Sunday,' while Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris faces Chemsdine Talbi's unavailability and Daniel Ballard's suspension.
- Sunderland require a win to leapfrog Chelsea toward the Europa League, capping a remarkable first season back in the top flight; Chelsea can secure Conference League by remaining eighth but need victory and a Brighton loss for Europa League.
