Chelsea are likely to be without new signing Yuri Zhirkov for the trip to Sunderland.
Zhirkov is still struggling with a knee injury while full-back Juliano Belletti (Achilles) and defender Alex (groin) are also expected to miss out.
Midfielder Joe Cole and right-back Paulo Ferreira are back in training but not considered match fit enough to be considered.

Hey yuri and j.cole you guys are meant to be the right and left midfielders of the diamond irrespectively so get fit quick and achelloti you need to do something about anelka try using sheva or sturridge as drogs partner to make his work easy
I hope your team aint firing on all cylinders so we can nick the three points and climb up the table further and shut all the sceptics up as we are sick of all the knocking . I hope we can steal it 2-1 or a draw at worst.
Wake up joe and do what u do best. Up Chelsea
