Recent respective form guides
Sunderland's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Black Cats have conceded a disappointing 13 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.
Fulham's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Cottagers have hit 7 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Sunderland find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 36 games have yielded only 12 points. Fulham see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premiership, showing a record of 45 points from their 36 games played so far,
