Confirmed Chelsea line-up vs Sunderland, Joao Pedro starts

Chelsea take on Sunderland on the road in their final game of the Premier League campaign today.
The Blues are currently eighth in the standings and need to beat the Black Cats to have any chance of leapfrogging Brighton & Hove Albion.
They may require Manchester United to beat the Seagulls too. Ahead of the game, interim boss Calum McFarlane has named a strong line-up.
Robert Sanchez continues in goal for the west London giants.
It is a back three once again. Wesley Fofana and Jorrel Hato start on either side of Levi Colwill in the heart of the Blues' backline.
Malo Gusto and Marc Cucurella start in the right and left wing-back positions today, while Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez feature in midfield.
In the final third, Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto will start in attacking midfield with Joao Pedro leading the attack for the Blues.
Confirmed Chelsea line-up vs Sunderland: Sanchez; Fofana, Colwill, Hato; Gusto, Caicedo, Enzo, Cucurella; Palmer, Neto; Pedro.
