Sunderland and Fulham will face off in the FA Cup fourth round this Wednesday when they meet at Stadium of Light.
Both teams played out a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage last week to set up this second leg which will go to penalties if both teams fail to win inside 90 minutes.
Sunderland come into this tie in good form, having lost just one of their last nine competitive fixtures (W4, D4). As a result, they should be confident of pushing their Premier League rivals all the way.

Also, a run of five competitive games without defeat as pre-match outsiders (W2, D3) further illustrates their capabilities of testing a team in England’s top flight.
Meanwhile, Fulham come into this tie in a dodgy form, having failed to win any of their last four games while failing to score in three.
Fulham manager Marco Silva has urged his players to live up to the challenge, threatening to drop any player who did not take this tie seriously. However, considering that they have lost just one of their last five away games in all competitions will give them confidence going into this tie.
Also, given that all but one of Fulham’s last seven competitive fixtures produced fewer than 2.5 total goals, we can expect the same here.
