Sunderland can shock Chelsea tonight - here's five reasons why

26 points, 19 goals, nine wins and an undefined amount of talent currently separate Chelsea at the top of the table from rock-bottom Sunderland.

While the Black Cats are mired in another relegation battle, Antonio Conte's Chelsea side are flying high and are putting forward a convincing title challenge when few gave them any chance at the start of the season.

So, logic dictates that Antonio Conte's men will steam roll Sunderland when the two meet at the Stadium of Light this evening. Right? Right? Well actually, wrong. Except probably right. However, fearless as ever, Sportsmail has put together the case for why David Moyes' men can beat the Blues in more ways than one.
