Sunderland preview: Back on track

Sunderland succumbed to their first defeat at the Stadium of Light in their most recent outing in the Premier League about ten days or so ago as they succumbed to a slender 1-0 loss at home to Liverpool.

Since then, though, Regis Le Bris’ Black Cats have bounced back with a slender 1-0 defeat of Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium in the fourth round of the FA Cup last week.

Fulham preview: Frustrated Fulham

Marco Silva and his Fulham side are pushing for a top seven or eight finish and potential European qualification but the Cottagers are underwhelming at the moment, despite a come from behind defeat of Stoke City in the cup last week.

The west Londoners, prior to that victory in Staffordshire, had suffered four defeats in their previous five matches, leading to them slipping below Sunderland in the table ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures.

Sunderland vs Fulham prediction

With these two sides sitting firmly in mid-table ahead of the 27th match day of the campaign, Sunderland and Fulham will fancy themselves to be quite content there. However, the two teams could do with ensuring they aren’t at all dragged into the very competitive and high points tally relegation battle so both sides may well attack this game and it may be surprisingly fun for the neutral.
