Line up;
Fulham boss Jean Tigana makes a number of team changes for the visit to Sunderland. Louis Saha and Luis boa Morte are both out injured as is presumably Steve Finnan. Inamoto and Malbranque start together in what is an attack orientated midfield.

Steve Marlet is brought back into the squad after being rested for the Spurs game
