and live on Freeview channel 276
The Black Cats should be full of confidence following last weekend’s 2-0 win over Middlesbrough – but are still dealing with several injury setbacks.
Captain Corry Evans is likely to miss the rest of the season after suffering damage to his anterior cruciate ligament, a blow which may alter the club’s transfer plans.

29’ Fulham penalty appeal
The home fans are appealing for a penalty after Alese’s challenge on Pereira.
Nothing given.
30’ Over from Wilson
Fulham still look a threat going forward and almost cut Sunderland open there.
Wilson played a neat one-two with Pereira before the former hit an effort over from the edge of the box.
35’ Clarke up front
It now looks like Clarke is playing through the middle just ahead of Amad, with Ba on the left and Roberts on the right.
The hosts are starting to dominate possession now and went close again after Solomon’s long-range shot was blocked by Ballard.
40’ Free header
Another Fulham chance after Pereira’s in-swinging corner is met by the head of Kurzawa who couldn’t hit the target.
42’ Chance for Amad
That was a chance for Sunderland to double their lead after excellent work from Roberts who set up Amad in the box.
The latter’s low shot went wide at the keeper’s near post.
