Cattermole back for Black Cats

LEE Cattermole returns to Sunderland's starting line-up for this afternoon's Premier League home game with Fulham. The midfielder has served a one-match suspension following his dismissal against Portsmouth, and is immediately reinstated as Sunderland look to record their first league victory since mid-November. Cattermole replaces George McCartney from the side that lost at Arsenal last weekend. Anton Ferdinand is expected to start at left-back after slotting back into the role at the Emirates Stadium. SUNDERLAND (4-4-2): Gordon; Hutton, Mensah, Turner, Ferdinand; Campbell, Cana, Cattermole, Richardson; Bent, Jones. Subs: Carson (gk), Bardsley, Kilgallon, Zenden, Benjani, McCartney, Da Silva. FULHAM (4-5-1): Schwarzerl Baird, Hangeland, Hughes, Shorey; Duff, Gera, Etuhu, Murphy, Davies; Zamora. Subs: Zuberbuhler (gk), Kelly, Okaka, Riise, Smalling, Greening, Elm.
