A pair of Enzos are at the wheel when Chelsea and Sunderland meet Saturday with the table showing two shockingly even teams set for a scrap at Stamford Bridge.
Both title-hopeful Chelsea and newly-promoted Sunderland boast 4-2-2 records through eight games, the Blues +7 goal differential putting them in fifth place to the Black Cats +3 in seventh place.
WATCH — Chelsea v Sunderland
So Sunderland won’t catch Chelsea off guard, though Enzo Le Fee’s Black Cats have played by far the easiest set of fixtures in the Premier League so far this season.
Wins are wins, though, and Chelsea have claimed three points in their last two Premier League matches. Enzo Maresca’s Blues snapping out of a three-match winless lull by beating Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

Chelsea vs Sunderland prediction
There are still plenty of injuries for both sides, but Chelsea are obviously better equipped in the depth department. Enzo Fernandez’s status will swing how comfortable this looks in the end, but expect Chelsea to rain on Sunderland’s parade in a bit of a reality check. Chelsea 2-0 Sunderland.
