Sunderland's recent form shows resilience despite mixed results, winning three of their last six Premier League matches. Their home record is particularly impressive with seven wins from 13 fixtures at the Stadium of Light, including notable victories over Crystal Palace and Newcastle. The Black Cats have shown they can compete with quality opposition, earning draws against Manchester City and Tottenham at home. Their 3-0 victory over Burnley demonstrated their attacking potential when confidence is high. However, defensive consistency remains an issue, conceding in most recent outings. A. Alese's shoulder injury weakens their defensive options, but the team's fighting spirit under pressure has been evident throughout the campaign.

Fulham's away form has been deeply concerning, managing just three wins from 13 road trips this season. Their recent Premier League record shows four defeats in five matches, including comprehensive losses to Manchester City (3-0) and Everton (2-1 at home). The Cottagers have struggled to maintain defensive solidity, conceding multiple goals in most recent fixtures. Their attacking output has been inconsistent, failing to score in several key matches. T. Cairney's potential absence due to calf injury would further weaken their midfield creativity. While they showed character in their FA Cup victory over Stoke City, translating that form to Premier League away fixtures has proven challenging throughout the campaign.
