Stewart set for Sunderland survival bid

Marcus Stewart comes into contention for a return to the Sunderland attack for the match against Fulham at Loftus Road after recovering from a thigh injury.

The former Ipswich Town striker played the full 90 minutes of last night’s 2-0 reserve defeat at Birmingham City and is desperate for the chance to prove he can solve the Black Cats’ woeful goal scoring record.
