Fulham can go above Sunderland in the Premier League if they can win at the Stadium of Light. The Cottagers are 12th in the table, a place and two points behind their opponents. Can they improve their poor away record? Read our match prediction below.
While the other two clubs promoted from the Championship last season still have relegation worries, Sunderland are dreaming of qualifying for Europe. Seventh place looks like being good enough and the Black Cats are only four points adrift of that position with 12 games to go. As you will read in the form section of this preview, Sunderland are strong on home soil but there aren't too many goals being scored.
Fulham have won one more league game this season than their opponents but are below them. Like Sunderland, Fulham won in the FA Cup last weekend but their current form in the Premier League is hindering any hopes they have of European qualification.

Sunderland had been unbeaten in 12 home EPL games before losing to Liverpool. Of their 12 league fixtures this season, the Black Cats have won seven matches with five draws before their unbeaten league run at the Stadium of Light came to an end.
They have failed to score in two of their last four Premier League fixtures, though they were against Manchester City and Liverpool. Seven of their 13 home league matches have seen under 2.5 goals scored. That stat has come up in 15 of their matches since returning to the top flight.
Fulham need to improve their league form.
Fulham have won ten league games this season but only three have come on the road. The Cottagers have lost eight away league games this season and only relegation-threatened Burnley and Wolves have lost more.
The away side won in the FA Cup last weekend but have been beaten in each of their last three league games, one more than Sunderland have. Three of the last five matches played between these two clubs have seen under 2.5 goals scored.

Sunderland & Fulham Squad Analysis
Sunderland have slipped into the bottom half of the Premier League. After this game, three of their next four EPL fixtures are on the road, so three points against Fulham would be very important for the Black Cats.
All eyes on the 32nd minute.
Their last two league games have both been lost. They will be hoping for more goals from Habib Diarra. Of Sunderland's last three league and cup goals, he's scored two of them. Strangely they were both scored in the 32nd minute.
Sunderland are likely to be without Granit Xhaka and Bertrand Traore for this game.
Fulham could yet have a memorable season. After this trip to Sunderland, four of their next five games are being played at Craven Cottage. They are much better on home soil but really need to get better results on the road.
Tom Cairney and Sasa Lukic are both doubtful for this trip to Sunderland.
