Premier League Review Week 37: Sunderland Start to Pull Away From Newcastle and Norwich

In this week’s Premier League review we see Sunderland pull away from Newcastle and Norwich in the dogfight to avoid relegation as they come from behind to beat Chelsea at the Stadium of Light.

Newcastle and Norwich will be relegated to the Championship if Sunderland can beat Everton on Wednesday after defeating Chelsea at the Stadium of Light.

That triumvirate has been diving in and out of the shadows of the bottom three for most of the latter part of the season. Aston Villa’s destiny was sealed some time ago. The question was always, ‘who would join them?’

The smart money has been on Newcastle and Norwich. Sunderland has Big Sam at the helm. The Premier League is his dominion. He has never managed a team that has fallen through the trap door. They also have a goalscoring machine in Jermaine Defoe.
