ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE: 12B3T Sunderland VS Fulham 11/19 11PM(GMT+8)
Sunderland: The club's widest victory margin in the league was in the 9-1 win against Newcastle United in the First Division in 1908. Their heaviest defeats in the league were 8-0 against Sheffield Wednesday in 1911, West Ham United in 1968 and Watford in 1982.Sunderland joined the top division in England, The Football League, in the 1890-91 season and were not relegated until 1957-58 (a span of 67 seasons).Sunderland's record home attendance is 75,118 for a sixth round replay FA Cup match against Derby County on 8 March 1933.The highest transfer fee received for a Sunderland player is £18 million, from Aston Villa for striker Darren Bent in January 2011, while the most spent by the club on a player was £13 million for rated Ghanaian striker Asamoah Gyan from French club Stade Rennais in August 2010.
Fulham : In 2002-03 Fulham spent most of the season near the bottom of the table. Chairman Mohamed Al-Fayed told manager Jean Tigana that his contract would not be renewed at the end of the season. However with five games to go, and relegation still possible, Tigana was sacked, and Chris Coleman was temporarily put in charge. Fulham won ten points from a possible fifteen and managed to avoid relegation. Coleman was given the manager's job on a permanent basis in the summer of 2003 and despite predictions that the inexperience of Coleman would result in Fulham's relegation, he kept the club well clear of relegation, guiding them to a club record ninth place finish in his debut season. This might have been greater had the club not come under significant financial pressure to sell Louis Saha to Manchester United, for which they received a club record £13 million.
