Sunderland face Premier League side Fulham in the FA Cup – and we’ve got all the action covered from Craven Cottage.

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.

58’ Fulham can’t handle Roberts

Roberts has been excellent again today, but perhaps could have picked out Clarke after another burst forward.

Instead he went for goal and curled an effort just wide of the far post.

There’s the equaliser.

It came after a Fulham attack down the left before the ball was worked to Cairney on the edge of the box.

The Fulham captain beat Michut and Ballard before firing a shot past Patterson.

1-1.

64’ Mitrovic on for Fulham

Fulham have brought on their top scorer in place of Vinicius.

Kurzawa has also been booked for a foul on Hume.

69’ Second change for Fulham

ON: Willian

OFF: Wilson

72’ Clarke almost released

Sunderland are struggling to get out of their own half now but almost broke away there after Michut tried to release Clarke.

The Sunderland man appeared to have the beating of Tosin but the defender just managed to get back.

Batth is booked for a late challenge on Palhinha on the edge of Sunderland’s box.

Fulham have a free-kick in a dangerous position.

76’ Patterson saves

Willian forces Patterson to make another save after curling the free-kick over the wall.

77’ DOUBLE CHANGE FOR SUNDERLAND

ON: Bennette and Ekwah

OFF: Clarke and Michut

77’ Changes for Fulham too

ON: Reed and Reid

OFF: Cairney and Palhinha

81’ Two efforts blocked

Both sides could still win this and Sunderland are still posing a threat.

Roberts and Amad linked up well there before the former saw a shot blocked by Tosin.

Ewkah then went for goal but his shot also hit a Fulham defender, before Neil fired an effort over.
