Fulham come into this game on the back of three straigh home wins in the Premiership, but will be disappointed after being thrashed midweek 3-0 by 1st Divison Burnley in the FA Cup. Sunderland, bottom of the Premier League and doomed, have not won in their last 10 games and have lost their last eight games. They have only won once away in the league all season. Fulham will have too much for Sunderland today, who are too far adrift now to get out of trouble. Fulham have had some good home form recently, with Malbranque in good form, and Sunderland only have Kevin Phillips, who it seems is the only player who can score for them. Transfer talk has already started for Sunderland, with their best players already being looked at for pickings from other clubs.
Keeper Sorensen may be on his way to Arsenal. This will further dent their confidence. Go for Fulham.
My team Tranmere narrowly missed out in the play offs, losing in a sudden death penalty shoot out to The Monkey Hangers.
The main reason was the over cautious approach to away games.
I can see the same again this season. That added to the combination of Swansea being on a high after promotion and they will be roared on by a huge crowd in the first competitive game at White Rock could be the deciding factor.

In League Two Darlington have made some astute signings and narrowly missed out on the play offs last season. Rushden on the other hand were poor, finishing in the bottom three.
I can see these sides fighting it out at opposite ends of the basement division.

A bet for Sunday in case I'm not back from my jaunt to South Wales.
The goings on down The New Den begger belief. Sacking a manager before a ball is kicked was a strange decision.
They have also lost key players.
Leeds problems are well documented but they seem to have finally got rid of big earners and their Summer signings have impressed me and are the type to give them a realistic chance to get them back to where Leeds fans believe they should be.
There won't be any Millwall fans at Elland Road either.
I can see Leeds getting off to a flyer.
