"Sunderland head to Fulham this afternoon looking to maintain their impressive start to life back in the top flight. Regis Le Bris has worked wonders on Wearside and his side will arrive in West London in fourth place in the Premier League, following the exhilarating 2-2 draw with Arsenal before the international break. That performance showed once again that Sunderland won't be physically intimidated, although this afternoon's game is likely to be a more tactical challenge for Le Bris and his players."

The Cottagers have lost five of their last six league games with the only win coming against a rock-bottom Wolves side that were reduced to 10 men after 36 minutes. Coach Marco Silva is in contract talks with the Fulham board and he will want wins quickly to strengthen his bargaining position."
"Sasa Lukic is suspended for Fulham while Rodrigo Muniz and Antonee Robinson are sidelined through injury. Josh King for Lukic is the only change to the team that lost at Everton. Fulham: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, King, Iwobi, Wilson, Kevin; Jimenez SUNDERLAND TEAM NEWS Sunderland remain without record signing Habib Diarra but full-back Reinildo is fit after sustaining a slight knock on international duty with Mozambique. It is the same XI that drew with Arsenal. Sunderland: Roefs; Hume, Mukiele, Ballard, Geertruida, Reinildo; Xhaka, Sadiki, Le Fee, Traore; Isidor"
