After Arsenal's amazing 7-0 Middlesborough thrashing and Man U's
3-1 loss to Man City, any predictions which way tonight's bottom v
top battle is going to go?
Lineup:
Sunderland: Davis, Hoyte, Breen, Caldwell, D
Collins, Lawrence, Whitehead, Miller, Arca, Stead, Le Tallec,
Alnwick, Bassila, Nosworthy, Murphy, Welsh, Woods, Stubbs, N
Collins.
Chelsea: Cech, Cudicini, Ferreira, Johnson,
Gallas, Carvalho, Bridge, del Horno, Terry, Carvalho, Huth,
Makelele, Lampard, Diarra, Gudjohnsen, Robben, Duff, Crespo, J
Cole, C Cole, Wright-Phillips.
Sunderland boss Mick
McCarthy says: "Somebody will beat them at sometime.
Everyone can laugh and scoff but it might be us. It might not be,
but it won't be for the want of trying. We'll go out there and
battle and hope to get a break in the game. It's not a fair fight
in terms of resources and players but my lads will have a scrap
with them."
Chelsea striker Joe Cole says: "We will not be
complacent because they are a team fighting hard to survive. We
will treat this game in the same ways as any other match and we
will go to the Black Cats and do a professional job. It is
important for us always to be on the top of our game."
