Fulham Under-18s look forward to their FA Youth Cup Fourth Round tie against Sunderland, which takes place on Wednesday (7pm KO).
The game will be available to watch live on FFCtv.
Form
Sunderland:
The young Black cats have had a long time to prepare for Thursday's game, having not played a competitive fixture since their 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on December 20th. Prior to that loss, they smashed Liverpool 4-0 to remain second in the league table. Their place in this competition was under threat in the Third Round, but two second half strikes ensured a comeback victory against Swansea City.
Fulham:
Our Under-18s' impressive four-match winning run came to an end last weekend, with Ali Melloul's side falling to a 4-0 defeat against Crystal Palace. Our lads were involved in arguably the most dramatic FA Youth Cup Third Round game before Christmas, fighting back late on to narrowly beat Rochdale 4-3.
Last Time Out
Despite competing in different leagues, this will be the second time our 18s' have clashed with the young Black Cats this season. We recorded a relatively comfortable 3-0 Premier League Cup win against them at Motspur Park back in October. Terrell Works, Aaron Loupalo-Bi and Caelan Avenall were all on the scoresheet.
Player Thoughts
Midfielder and captain Delano McCoy-Splatt is ready for another high-pressure test.
