  "account": "Sunderland will welcome Fulham to the Stadium of Light on Sunday afternoon, hoping to secure all three points at home in the Premier League. Following a tough 2-1 loss to Ipswich Town last weekend, the Black Cats are eager to bounce back with a win against Fulham. Regis Le Bris will deploy his players in a 4-2-3-1 formation, making only one change to his starting lineup. Omar Alderete is expected to start, while Luke O’Nien will drop to the bench.\n\nIn goal, Robin Roefs will take the field for Sunderland, having conceded two goals in his previous league match. Dan Ballard and Thomas Meunier will form the cornerstone of the defensive line, allowing Reinildo Mandava and Luke O’Nien to push forward. Midfielders Noah Sadiki and Granit Xhaka will operate as the holding midfielders, tasked with disrupting Fulham's play in the center of the park. On the attack, Nilson Angulo, Enzo Le Fee, and Trai Hume will press high, with Chris Rigg and Chemsdine Talbi providing cover on the bench. Brian Brobbey will spearhead the Sunderland attack, seeking his first goal of the season, while Wilson Isidor will sit on the bench, ready to make an impact in the second half if required.",
