Contrast that to Fulham who lost away to Portsmouth after they had dominated the first 20 minutes and I think that they will go into the game against Sunderland absolutely determined to make sure of these three points and steer away from the drop zone.
In short I think Sunderland will be beaten by Fulham due to what happened to both sides on the 31st December and their contrasting mental approach to this game as a result.
4/7 on Fulham seems a decent price to me.

Of course I realise that this is all purely conjecture on my behalf but my gut tells me I wont be far wrong on this. Did you see the Sunderland players all lying down on the pitch after the game was up on Saturday against Everton. They looked like a bunch of players who know they are doomed and have had the stuffing and belief knocked out of them. I don't think their manager is good enough to get them right for the game against Fulham. Whereas Coleman will be playing on his players fear that they could get dragged in to the scrap for survival.
