Sunderland vs Fulham Preview

Sunderland will look to bounce back from their recent home defeat when they host Fulham. The Black Cats had a strong return to the Premier League and are expected to take advantage of Fulham’s lackluster away performance.

Current Form

• Sunderland suffered their first home defeat in the latest league match against Liverpool.
• Despite this, they have held strong teams like Manchester City and Arsenal to draws at home.
• Fulham is currently winless in their last four away matches, winning only three out of 13 away games this season.

With only 13 goals scored away from home, Fulham’s attack has been underwhelming. They have managed just five wins on the road this season across all competitions, often by narrow margins.

Key Players

Sunderland’s captain, Granit Xhaka, is anticipated to return to the squad, potentially motivating his teammates. Conversely, Fulham will likely miss key players Samuel Chukwueze, Saka Lukic, and Tom Cairney.
