Fulham's healthier squad gives them a slight edge over an injury-hit and out-of-form Sunderland.
Both teams are in poor form, but Sunderland's injury situation is more severe, with key midfielder Granit Xhaka being a notable absentee. Fulham also has a better head-to-head record, having won the last encounter. While both teams are struggling, Fulham's slightly healthier squad and Marco Silva's possession-based system could give them the edge needed to control the midfield and secure a narrow away victory.
