Sunderland Aiming to Bounce Back Following Opening Day Defeat
Regis Le Bris masterminded a first return to Europe since 1973-74 last season, but building on that promise could be challenging for Sunderland in their second season in the Premier League.
The Black Cats will have a congested fixture list this term, and they looked defensively vulnerable in last week’s 2-1 loss against newly promoted Ipswich Town.
Sunderland struggled to create chances for Brian Brobbey at the top of the field, with their only goal coming following a moment of magic from Nilson Angulo. Wilson Isidor could be recalled to the starting eleven this Sunday after registering two goals in his last five appearances.

Youthful Fulham Impress In Opening Day Defeat
It has been a summer of change for Fulham, with Alvaro Arbeloa tasked with overseeing a major overhaul of the squad. Aging stars have been offloaded, with an influence being on bringing through younger stars.
The Cottagers showed their attacking quality on the opening day of the season, despite losing 3-2 against Chelsea. Oscar Bobb and Joshua King both impressed, with the latter scoring in the West London derby.
The signing of Gonzalo Garcia could also prove to be an inspired piece of business, with the former Real Madrid striker scoring on his debut for Fulham in the second half.
Sunderland vs. Fulham Picks
Sunderland could struggle in the opening weeks of the new season, meaning that Fulham are an interesting selection on Sunday. The Cottagers boast exciting youthful attacking quality, and they have also avoided defeat in eleven of their previous 14 trips to the Stadium of Light.
