Fulham heads to the Stadium of Light on Sunday, looking to achieve their first league double over Sunderland in over 20 years.
Fulham is currently facing a tough phase, having lost three straight Premier League matches, which has placed them 12th in the standings. Manager Marco Silva celebrated a much-needed 2-1 FA Cup victory against Stoke City last weekend, but his team has now fallen short in four of their last five league games. Fulham remains unbeaten in their last four matches against Sunderland, having won the previous encounter 1-0 in November.
Fulham Team News
Marco Silva has to manage a squad that is missing a key player due to a new injury. Samuel Chukwueze is out with a calf injury sustained against Manchester City. This absence is significant as he averages a goal or assist every 91 minutes. Saša Lukić and Tom Cairney have returned to training, but Lukić is expected to miss Sunday’s match.
Bernd Leno will be in goal, backed by defenders Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey. In the attack, Raúl Jiménez, who scored the decisive goal in the last match against Sunderland, is set to lead the front line. He will have support from Harry Wilson, who has netted eight goals this season, with five being match winners. Fulham risks losing four league games in a row while conceding two or more goals for the first time since 2019 if they do not improve their defense on Sunday.
Fulham Predicted Lineup
Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Iwobi, Berge; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Kevin; Jimenez
