An Enzo Le Fee penalty helped Sunderland claim a hard earned home win against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon and ensured his side moved off the bottom of the Premier League table.

The Black Cats eased the pressure on head coach Regis Le Bris and bounced back from their Europa League defeat against Dinamo Zagreb by seeing off Xabi Alonso’s side at the Stadium of Light. A hardworking, disciplined and intense performance was enough to help Sunderland earn their first league win since August and they now lie just one point from escaping the bottom three as the league action gives way to the latest international break of the season.

It has been a challenging campaign so far for Le Bris and his players as they have balanced the rigours of competing in European competition with looking to build on last season’s impressive performances in the Premier League and progressing in the Carabao Cup. This is still a long way to go in the season and Le Bris will be confident his players can build on their win against the Blues when they return to action with a visit to Aston Villa later this month. But where are Sunderland predicted to finish in the Premier League? We take a look at the latest predicted final table produced by the stats experts at Opta.
