    Fulham boss Marco Silva to BBC One on being in the stands tonight: "Different, strange. But of course we are ready for it as well. Everything will be the same up to kick-off and again at half time.

    "The feedback that normally they will receive from myself on the bench they will have from someone else.

    "I might have a better view, it's just I won't be there."

    Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray on BBC One: "I don't want to get dragged into the next round, let's just focus on this one.

    "We had an amazing game at Fulham, we asked the team to challenge themselves against a Premier League club and they expressed themselves.

    "We are asking them to do the same again tonight. We want them to test their talent, drive and ambition.

    "Sometimes when you play a top team there can be fear and you sit behind the ball hoping to make life difficult but we're going to try and play on the front foot again."

    Ex-Charlton defender Steve Brown says Fulham manager Marco Silva has created a positive environment at the club.

    Speaking on BBC Radio London's The Far Post podcast, Brown said: "As a manager, you create a set-up and the players have to believe in it. Silva has given them a style of play that absolutely suits them.

    "You know someone is doing a great job when you look at the squad and see that not many people were coming in for Fulham players [before].

    "Silva has created a wonderful atmosphere around the club and if a top-six side turns up and are not quite at it, Fulham will beat them."

    Sunderland are looking to reach the last 16 of the competition for the first time since 2015 - when they were a top-flight club and were knocked out by Fulham.

    They haven’t reached the fifth round when playing outside the Premier League since 2003-04.

    Fulham have been eliminated from seven of their last eight FA Cup fourth round ties, winning the other 4-1 at home against Hull City in 2016-17.

    Sunderland won their last home game against Fulham, a 1-0 win back in December 2017 in the Championship under Chris Coleman.

    Marco Silva is excited about the prospect of an FA Cup run but wary of the threat posed by their Championship hosts.

    "We know if we don't play at our best level, we can lose games," said the Fulham boss.

    "We are not afraid. We respect all the teams, but we believe in ourselves.

    "It's a tough place to go, but the job we didn't do against Sunderland before, we have to do [tonight]."

    Marco Silva says he "has to improve", even if his one-match touchline ban for accruing four yellow cards has caught him by surprise.

    The Fulham boss will be in the stands at Stadium of Light tonight and he says the sanction feels "strange".

    "It's not something natural," he said. "I think I'm the first manager with four yellows.

    "I'm sure in that moment [against Chelsea], I did not do anything. I was actually giving instructions to [Aleksandar] Mitrovic.

    "It's a blow but the players will be ready. Even if they are not fair, I am the first demanding from myself that I should improve some things.

    "It's not easy with the emotions of the game."

    Sunderland are going to miss the goals of Ross Stewart but, with a young squad, they can be completely fearless.

    They will look at Fulham's team and think 'we gave them a go at Craven Cottage, why can't we do it here?'

  13. 'Why should Fulham not aim for Wembley?'published at 19:20 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2023

    What a story it would have been if Sunderland's 15-year-old midfielder Chris Rigg had not seen his late winner ruled out in the first game - he would have become the youngest-ever goalscorer in the FA Cup.

    It was unfortunate for him, and for Sunderland too because they actually had a real go at Fulham.

    If the Black Cats win this replay they face Leeds, and we get a replay of one of the most famous FA Cup finals in history - from 50 years ago in 1973 when Sunderland goalkeeper Jim Montgomery helped the Second Division side clinch a brilliant victory and Bob Stokoe ran on the pitch to celebrate.

    But it is a big blow for them that striker Ross Stewart is out for the season with an Achilles injury, and Fulham still have to be favourites to progress despite being the away side.

    I think Marco Silva's side should look at the FA Cup as being a real opportunity for them this season, because they are not going to get relegated now - they have not reached the semi-finals since 2002, so why not aim for Wembley?

    Sutton's prediction: 1-2 after extra time

    Sunderland currently sit ninth in the Championship table having drawn with fellow play-off hopefuls Millwall on Saturday.

    They beat Shrewsbury 2-1 in the third round before the 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage in the FA Cup.

    Fulham, meanwhile, have been in great form in the Premier League. They sit eighth in the table and drew 0-0 with Chelsea on Friday.

    Prior to that, Marco Silva's side beat Tottenham, Chelsea and Leicester and suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Newcastle after the turn of the year.

  15. View from the fanspublished at 19:15 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2023

    Sammy James, Fulhamish, external.

    Friday's goalless draw against Chelsea may not have been the greatest game for the neutral, but for Fulham fans it was a great evening. A win and a draw against our near neighbours is our best return against them since 1976, so we'll definitely take that.

    The star of the game was right-back Kenny Tete. One of Fulhamish's regular pundits Dom Betts tweeted "I would personally like Mykhailo Mudryk to come outside and apologise for wasting Kenny Tete's evening" and it summed up that battle perfectly.

    While Joao Palhinha, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Tim Ream have rightly taken plaudits this season, Kenny Tete has slipped under the radar. Cedric Soares has been signed from Arsenal as right-back competition, but if Kenny keeps up these kind of performances, he may struggle to break into the side.

    Tete will almost certainly start Wednesday's FA Cup replay against Sunderland because Cedric is ineligible, and I imagine Marco will go for a fairly strong team overall. I'd expect around four or five changes, but it will still have plenty of first-teamers.

    Given the winners have a winnable (but tough) home tie against Leeds in the fifth round, there is a huge opportunity for Fulham to go far in the cup. We would be foolish to not treat this Sunderland game with the respect it deserves.

    FA Cup 2023 Highlights: Fulham 1-1 Sunderland

    Fulham fought back to earn this replay after Jack Clarke's early goal looked to have put a youthful Black Cats side on course for a memorable win in west London.

    However, the hosts, who enjoyed the majority of possession, levelled things up just after the hour mark with captain Tom Cairney superbly evading two challenges before picking his spot in the left corner.

    In a dramatic conclusion, 15-year-old Chris Rigg looked to have scored the winner for the visitors but his goal was ruled out with Abdoullah Ba off-side in the build-up, while Willian's effort for Fulham was tipped over.

    We're all set for round two as Sunderland host Fulham in an FA Cup fourth-round replay after the two sides drew at Craven Cottage.

    A place in the fifth round is up for grabs, where the winner will face Leeds United.

    The first encounter was an eventful one but we'll have a winner this evening. Will it go to extra-time and a penalty shootout?
