Chopra starts for Sunderland in vital clash with Fulham

Sunderland V Fulham

Sunderland boss Roy Keane drafted striker £5million Michael Chopra back into the starting line-up for his side’s must-win clash with Fulham.

The former Newcastle frontman replaced Roy O’Donovan in the only change to the side which was unfortunate to lose 3-1 at West Ham last Sunday.

Fulham manager Lawrie Sanchez made four changes to his team following the 0-0 draw with Derby last weekend.

Out went the suspended Paul Konchesky, the injured Hameur Bouazza and Chris Baird and Seol Hi-Kyeon as Carlos Bocanegra, Elliot Omozusi, Simon Davies and David Healy came in.
