Both at home. If they are in the bottom three after then, the pressure will be tremendous on the genius

Unfortunately I can't see anything other than 2 wins, or at the very least 4 points. Which will be enough to keep their heads above water for at least another month in what must be worst bottom half in history
 

Fulham have lot of quality in their squad and, as I see it, the best manager in the relegation scrap, I think they'll survive
 
There seems to be more positivity from Sunderland supporters than their own.

Mind you, the last two times they've gone down people have said they wouldn't.

When Benitez there was a flurry of 'that's them safe' posts.

He seems to be criticising his players every week and I don't think I've seen one of them improve since he's been there ..

... in fact Lascelles, Shelvey, Perez, etc have actually become worse.

Benitez sounded worse than moyes when interviewed after the Liverpool game.

He did. Baffling that he gets away with that attitude and demeanour. I guess it's just that they love the idea of having a world-class manager(even though no-one else thinks that) so have to direct criticism elsewhere.

To say it would be a miracle if they stayed up is extraordinary.

Yeah and those 2 wins were together which dragged them out of the bottom 3. Something similar and a couple of draws will have the same effect imo

Yes but in order to get 2 wins together, you have to win the 1st game. Their home form since those 2 wins reads losses against Brighton, Wolves, a hammering by West Ham and being the only team in the league to fail score against Fulham (in any game, home or away). These are midtable/bottom half sides they're failing against, not City and Liverpool.

In the build up to the 2 home games in Feb, they have a hellish run of games where they'll like lose quite a few, and they will almost certainly not be going into them on the back of an away win this time, and could very well be in the bottom 3 going into them. Tbf, I think they'll beat Huddersfield, but Burnley could easily go and take at least a point, 3 if they've started to turn the corner.
