Top meets bottom on Sunday and, while the end of this season will feel like a mercy for Sunderland, Chelsea will consider their post-match celebrations the start of something potentially special. Gary Cahill and the departing John Terry will lift the Premier League trophy after the game with the FA Cup final and further squad strengthening to come this summer. Antonio Conte and the club are determined to capitalise on this success. The future is starker for David Moyes and those from Wearside but their own close season of re-structuring awaits.
