Sunderland vs Fulham: Premier League preview

Sunderland are winless in four matches in all competitions against the Cottagers but the last league meeting at the Stadium of Light was a 1-0 win in the Championship under the management of Fulham legend Chris Coleman.

Raul Jimenez scored the only goal of the game when Fulham defeated Sunderland at Craven Cottage in November, a match that revealed the beginnings of what Marco Silva's team could hope to achieve in 2025-26.

They climbed as high as seventh in the months that followed but three losses in a row have seen them tumble back into mid-table this month.

Silva might not be too alarmed by away defeats against both Manchester clubs but a home loss against Everton will be a source of frustration and eight goals conceded in three games must have had him climbing the dressing room walls.

If the degree of difficulty of recent games has put Fulham in a slightly misleading sequence of form, back-to-back losses to Arsenal and Liverpool won't have caused much panic on Wearside.

Virgil van Dijk's winning goal at the Stadium of Light last time out cost the Black Cats a couple of points but Regis Le Bris can take plenty of positives from that fixture and the fact that a subsequent win in the FA Cup left Sunderland with a realistic chance of reaching the quarter-finals.

If Fulham beat Sunderland, they'll go past the home team in the league table. A win for either would put them firmly back in the fight for European places.

The North London derby might be the headline act on Sunday afternoon but true Premier League aficionados know there are thrills and spills to be enjoyed here too.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Sunderland 1-1 Fulham

It would be silly to assess this game as too close to call and then call it, so we won't.
