Sunderland face Fulham for a must win game for both teams.
We are without Dean Whitehead, Kieran Richardson, Stan Varga, Andrew Cole, Russell Anderson, Carlos Edwards
Paul McShane is still banned off his Red card from the Arsenal game
Dwight Yorke and Anthony Stokes are hopeful.
Liam has been in superb form of late and he will look to continue it against Fulham.
Fulham are without Jimmy Bullard, Brian McBride, Lee Cook, Kasey Keller, Ian Pearce, Philippe Christanval and Moritz Volz.
Paul Koncheskey is banned.
The Ex Leeds striker has been in good form this season. He will be a handful and our defence will have to be on their toes to keep him quite.
In our 6 meetings with Fulham on Wearside we have Won 3, Lost 1 and Drew 2.
Last time at the Stadium of Light we won 2-1 Anthony Le Tallec and Chris Brown were on target with Thomas Radzinski pulling one back for Fulham late in the second half.
Andre Marriner.
I think it will be a hard fought affair that we will just sneak.
1-0 Home win.
Sunderland v Manchester City
20:00 Monday 5th November 2007.
