The model's likeliest scoreline. Exact-score markets pay well and land rarely, so stake lightly.
How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Chelsea
Chelsea are built to control games. They should hold most of the ball at Stamford Bridge and pin Sunderland back for long periods.
Away
Sunderland
Expect Sunderland to stay compact on their trip to Stamford Bridge and look for a moment rather than control the game.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Chelsea name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Sunderland score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
The story of Chelsea vs Sunderland
Chelsea take on Sunderland in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Chelsea's way. The gap in expected goals (2.63 for Chelsea, 0.62 for Sunderland) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 80% for Chelsea. Sunderland's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
