Black Cats look for better luck against Fulham

SUNDERLAND head for Fulham today refusing to accept that relegation from the Premiership is an inevitability.

They should have claimed maximum points against Everton on New Year’s Eve but instead ended with nothing, Everton snatching a stoppage-time winner through Tim Cahill.

After 10 defeats in 11 Premiership games, Mick McCarthy’s side are rooted to the bottom of the table with just six points from 19 games.
