One of Sunday's earlier kick-offs comes to us from the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland and Chelsea will be up against each other. Having lost at home in the UEFA Europa League during the week, the Black Cats will be hoping to bounce back. The visitors did bounce back last weekend, defeating a weak Man United team, but can they now kick on? 

From a betting point of view, 'Enzo Le Fee 1+ Shots on Target' appeals. The early market doesn't appear to have accurately priced the French player, who arrives in solid shooting form, and who has a habit of delivering his best efforts in that sense in the biggest games. Fresh off the back of some solid efforts, hitting the target in each of his last two games, Le Fee will be keen to do some damage against a Chelsea team that has looked far from solid defensively.

Sunderland - Chelsea Key Points

  1. Enzo Le Fee often comes alive in the big games, shooting on target against Arsenal earlier this season.
  2. Last time out in the EPL, Enzo Le Fée registered a shot on target.
  3. Enzo Le Fée has registered a shot on target in three of his last four appearances for the Black Cats.
  4. In six home games this season, in all competitions, Enzo Le Fee has registered six shots on target.

Our Sunderland vs Chelsea Prediction

Enzo Le Fee was only involved as a second-half substitute in the UEL on Thursday evening, so he should be ready to rock and roll here. The Frenchman has been a key cog in the offensive wheel of Regis Le Bris this season, and he arrives in fine shooting form, registering a shot on target in three of his last four appearances. 

We've seen the visiting Blues give up plenty of chances this season, so someone like Le Fee, who has registered six shots on target in six home games this season, looks a little more likely to do some damage than early odds of +137 might indicate. 

Our Sunderland vs Chelsea Pick: Enzo Le Fee 1+ Shots on Target.
