He'll want to put on a good show in the final match of the season in front of his team's fans but won't want any injuries to any of his key players who are chalked in to start against Arsenal in the FA Cup final next weekend.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />But where does that leave the likes of Marcos Alonso, David Luiz and <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Diego Costa</span>, who didn't feature against Watford on Monday? Might they be a little under-cooked if they sit this one out, too?<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Just about everyone is fit to play in this game.</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="border: 0px; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sunderland </span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Hard to find any positives at all about Sunderland's season. David Moyes' stock continues to fall with this just the latest of several setbacks to his career progression.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The handful of players like Jermain Defoe, <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: 0.2s; vertical-align: baseline;">Jordan Pickford</span> and Didier NDong who actually did ok are unlikely to be at the club next season and there isn't really even any young talent coming through to speak of.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />David Moyes' team selection dilemma comes about for very different reasons to that of Chelsea. Is it worth giving a couple of fringe players a game thinking about next season? Or does he play his <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">strongest side</span> and try to avoid suffering one final humiliation?</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="border: 0px; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: 0.2s; vertical-align: baseline;">Match Odds</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Despite the strange, narrow 4-3 win over Watford there's nothing to suggest Chelsea won't win this game. But then, given they're <span class="inline-odds" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 2px 1px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;" title="2/15"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: 0.2s; vertical-align: baseline;">1.13</span></span>, you didn't need me telling you that.</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="border: 0px; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Over/Under 3.5 goals </span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />In a game with understandably few betting opportunities given the question marks over motivation and energy levels, plus team selection, this might just about be the safest one you can get that isn't at a prohibitively-short price.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Obvious thing to say but there might be a real <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">devil-may-care</span> attitude by both sets of players. No-one has anything to lose at all and in their match against Watford, Chelsea showed they can still keep on scoring goals even though some of the big-name attacking players aren't there.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />In addition to that, the famed quintet of Moses-Cahill-Azpilicueta-Luiz-Alonso is likely to be broken up again with Terry almost certainly getting the chance to say goodbye to his fans in style and at least one more of those five <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">getting a rest</span> ahead of that Arsenal game. Meaning that strange as this may sound, a Sunderland goal isn't out of the question at all. Which would obviously help our over 3.5 goals cause.</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="border: 0px; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: 0.2s; vertical-align: baseline;">Total Booking Points 1</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />I can see why it's such a huge price (4/1) about 45 booking points. No Chelsea player will want to risk getting themselves sent off ahead of the FA Cup Final nor will a Sunderland man want to add insult to injury by capping off a horrible season with a last-day sending off.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />That's all well and good but football doesn't always work out that way. You could have said similar things about Chelsea's game against Watford and that game saw four bookings (two of them Chelsea guys) and a red.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Party atmosphere</span> it may be for the Chelsea players but it's still a professional game of football and that could mean the odd shirt tug or slight late challenge you'd get in any other game.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />It's by no means an obvious bet to place in a match under these circumstances but maybe that's the point.</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
