Sunderland vs Fulham live stream: match preview
Sunderland didn't manage to get the job done at Craven Cottage 10 days ago despite taking a sixth-minute lead, with Fulham's Premier League quality in front of goal enough to earn a replay they scarcely deserved. With the fervent backing of the Stadium of Light behind them tonight, can the Championship play-off contenders pull off an upset?
Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray has impressed many with the continuity he as provided on Wearside following the early-season departure of Alex Neil to Stoke. Promoted via the League One play-offs last term, the Black Cats are ninth in the second tier and are just two points off the play-off places, but will feel disappointed to have dropped points at the weekend against Millwall. Top scorer Ross Stewart damaged his cruciate knee ligament against Fulham 10 days ago and Sunderland will miss the Loch Ness Drogba's goals at the business end of the season, with Lynden Gooch and Elliot Embleton also sidelined and Leeds loanee Joe Gelhardt cup-tied. Much will lie on Jack Clarke, who scored the Black Cats goal at Craven Cottage.
Fulham have exceeded all expectations in the Premier League this season, where they currently sit eighth above both Liverpool and Chelsea. Though three games without a win in the league, a run of four straight victories from Boxing Day served notice of a well-drilled outfit under boss Marco Silva, who will likely shuffle his pack again tonight. Though he may give Alexandr Mitrovic a start in the hope the Serbia hit man will play himself back into form, Silva will likely give minutes to Tom Cairney, who scored 10 days ago, Welsh international Harry Wilson and cup goalkeeper Marek Rodak in goal.
Sunderland vs Fulham kicks off today at 7.45pm GMT / 2.45pm ET, at the Stadium of Light. Make sure you know how to watch a Sunderland vs Fulham live stream from anywhere in the world.
