Sunderland vs. Chelsea, 7:45pm local time.
The Capital One Cup always summons intriguing matches with surprises football fans never even thought about. Whether this will be the case with the Sunderland-Chelsea clash tonight at the quarter-final, nobody can tell, but looking at their previous fixture two weeks ago, it's hard to believe that tonight's match will be a borefest. Both teams displayed great performances with Chelsea emerging victorious 4-3.
As it stands now in the Premier League's table, these two teams are quite the opposite: Sunderland sits at the bottom of the table, at the very last place, while Chelsea is vying for the table's top, sitting on rank 3 and breathing down on Liverpool and Arsenal's neck. The Blues are coming to the Stadium of Light tonight after having beaten Crystal Palace following a hard fight at Stamford Bridge Saturday, while Sunderland had a discouraging nil-nil draw with West Ham the same day. At Sunderland's current position, they'll want a notable win before Christmas to keep the spirits high, though with Chelsea's manager Jose Mourinho stating that this season he wants at least one trophy - the Black Cats will have to work extra hard.
