Chelsea v Sunderland - Premier League
The current defending champions have won the title 5 times.

Playing in Premier League since - 1992-93

Worst League Position: 14th (1993-94)

Best League Position: 1st (2004–05, 2005–06, 2009–10, 2014–15, 2016–17)

Until the appointment of Ruud Gullit as player-manager in 1996, Chelsea was a relatively unknown team in the Premier League. However, real success washed ashore only after the appointment of the eccentric Jose Mourinho, who led Chelsea to two back-to-back titles along with other silverware.

Chelsea have always managed to finish in the top 7 since 1995, until in 2015-16, when the defending champions were languishing at 16th in December, before somehow managing to jump up 6 positions to finish 10th.
