Sunderland 1 : 3 Chelsea

Hilario will most likely let in one.

[DavidEU 2,023]

Look alot more solid at the back with Brown, but seem to have trouble creating many chance and taking them. Larsson will give us some trouble with his set-pieces though if we carry on defending like we are, as will Gyan with his pace in behind the back four.

[Jusek 2,031]

Fucking international break... can't wait!

[zolayes 14,489]

need payback for last year

[Beast 85]

International friendlies are more useless than a pornstar with a condom.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Sunderland certainly miss Welbeck and Bent this season, they don't really have a genuine goalscorer. Gyan is a good player but he is more of an attacking fulcrum than an out-and-out striker.

[Ollie 4,400]

We had our best performance there last season, even Kalou and Anelka played well ffs but it's certainly not an easy place to go. We've been good there in recent years tho and i fully expect us to win it, especially as Sunderland are really struggling to score. Time for Mata to help Torres....

[milanoww 81]

Hope Mata and Sturridge start. Anelka also deserve a chance after his good games vs WBA and Norwich. I think we'll win. 2-0 is my prediction.

[Kojo 4,676]

Hilario

Bosingwa-Ivanovic-Terry-Cole

Ramires-Mikel-McEachran

Sturridge-Torres-Mata

And i would like to see Romeu come on for Mikel later, and Anelka for Sturridge, depending on how Sturridge plays, and maybe Lukaku, but depends how well Torres is playing.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Hopefully Cech is back for this.

I very much doubt he will be back unforutunately, they are still wondering if he will manage to be back just before the United game.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Revenge is a must.

Thought AVB said "he's looking good for after the international break"?

Oh well Hilario is not so bad, just scares me at times.

Oh shit international break i forgot about that, oh well maybe he might be then, i certainly hope so.

[Ray. 217]

Hate the fact we've got an international break now. Will be travelling up on the train for this one, looking forward to it so much, revenge will be the order of the day.

AVB, give Torres 90 min FFS. Looks at Dzeko. He's been playing 90 min at City and now he's banging in them goals.
