DICK ADVOCAAT has decided against risking Lee Cattermole at Stamford Bridge for what could be his final game in charge of Sunderland.

The Black Cats head coach, who is to decide on his future after today's game, has resisted the temptation to throw Cattermole in over fears he could break Premier League history by collecting his 15th yellow card of the season.

A caution would mean also carry a three-game ban, which is not what Advocaat would want at the start of next season if he does accept owner Ellis Short's proposal to stay in charge.

It looks as if Jack Rodwell or Seb Larsson will be asked to fill the slot in front of the back four, while Danny Graham has been replaced in the starting line-up by Steven Fletcher.

Sunderland are already safe so can enjoy their day out against the champions, but goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon has had to be left out because of injury. Vito Mannone returnns between the posts.

Chelsea, who will lift the Premier League trophy after the game, do include player of the year Eden Hazard in the team even though he only recently had surgery to have three wisdom teeth removed.
