PREVIEW | Fulham vs Sunderland - team news, lineups, predictions

Fulham welcome Sunderland to Craven Cottage on Saturday in the Premier League.

The Cottagers sit 15th with 11 points and will be hoping to bounce back after a 2-0 defeat to Everton. Marco Silva’s side know a home win is crucial as they look to climb the table.

Sunderland, meanwhile, are fourth with 19 points and come into the weekend on the back of a thrilling 2-2 draw with Arsenal. Régis Le Bris’ team will be aiming to consolidate their top-four position.

The last meeting between the two teams ended with Fulham winning 3-2.

The Fan Zone

WTF Sunderland Pod : Back at it after the highs of the come from behind draw with Arsenal. Fulham might not have had the best of starts to the season but Sunderland cannot be complacent. The mission for this season is still to remain in the league, but if the fans and the club have ambitions of getting more out of this season(and it seems they do), Fulham are one of the sides Sunderland will need to be beating or at least taking something.

With the squad gelling nicely and the mood around the camp high I’m confident of Le Bris’ boys getting something from this one. I’m going 1-1 draw.

Prediction: 1-1
