We have five FA Cup fourth round replays coming up this week including the meeting between Sunderland and Fulham on the 8th of February.

The match will be played at the Stadium of Light and the hosts are currently 9th in the Championship while the visitors are 8th in the Premier League.

Sunderland come into the game having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Millwall in the Championship on the weekend. It was Millwall who opened the scoring in the 59th minute but Sunderland equalised with just 9 minutes of normal time remaining.

That result means Sunderland are undefeated in 8 of their last 9 fixtures in all competitions.

The Black Cats have won 4 of those 8 games and that includes victories over Blackburn Rovers, Wigan Athletic, and Middlesbrough in the Championship plus Shrewsbury Town away in the FA Cup third round. Home form shows Sunderland have won 3 of their last 7 matches in all competitions.

In terms of the FA Cup, Sunderland have recorded just 1 win from their last 8 FA Cup ties. The win came in the third round this season and Sunderland have struggled to win at home in recent FA Cup matches. Trends show Sunderland have failed to win any of their last 6 home FA Cup games and have failed to score a goal in 5 of those 6 matches.

Fulham make the trip north to the Stadium of Light on the back of a good 0-0 draw at Chelsea. Despite the fact Chelsea have spent heavily in the transfer market, Fulham held their own at Stamford Bridge in what was another good performance from The Cottagers.

The draw at Chelsea means Fulham have failed to win any of their last 4 fixtures in all competitions. There have been defeats against Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League plus the draws with Sunderland in the FA Cup and Chelsea in the Premier League.

Away form shows Fulham have been tough to beat on the road recently and they are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 away matches in all competitions. The wins have come at Crystal Palace and Leicester City in the Premier League plus Hull City in the FA Cup.

Trends show Fulham have won 3 of their last 4 away FA Cup ties, keeping a clean sheet in all 3 of the victories.

Team news and Sunderland are without the injured quartet of Corry Evans, Ross Stewart, Lynden Gooch, and Elliot Embleton.

Fulham have just one injury concern with Neeskens Kebano unlikely to play any part due to an Achilles tendon. Harry Wilson, Manor Solomon, Tom Cairney, Carlos Vinícius, Layvin Kurzawa, and Daniel James could all start.

Both clubs could make several changes to their team from the weekend fixtures. That can make these games difficult to predict but Fulham have been resilient on the road in recent weeks and could away with a narrow 1-0 win.
