Match Preview: Fulham vs Manchester United

Kick Off Time 3:00pm

Team News

Fulham
  • Following the 4-3 Capital One Cup defeat to Leicester City in midweek, Martin Jol is under pressure from the Fulham board ahead of the welcome of Manchester United.
  • The Cottagers must pick up a positive result against the defending Premier League champions, but Jol will be without the services of Matthew Briggs and Hugo Rodallega, while Brede Hangeland is a doubt.
  • Alexander Kacaniklic may come in to replace Bryan Ruiz on the right-wing.
Manchester United
  • Manchester United romped to a morale boosting 4-0 win over Norwich City on Tuesday night and will look to take that confidence to Craven Cottage on Saturday.
  • Manager David Moyes is expected to make a number of changes for the encounter with Fulham, but will be without the services of Darren Fletcher and Danny Welbeck.
  • Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic are set to start at centre-back, while Adnan Januzaj could replace Shinji Kagawa on the left-win from the side that beat Stoke City 3-2 last weekend.

Prediction

  • After securing back-to-back league victories, Fulham were brought crashing back down to earth following the 2-0 defeat to Southampton and the 4-3 loss at the hands of Leicester on Tuesday. Martin Jol will be demanding his team return to winning ways in front of their home fans against Manchester United.
  • David Moyes' side are unbeaten in their last 11 trips to London, but have endured a mixed spell of results on the road this term, winning 2 and losing 2 of their 4 matches away from Old Trafford. However, against a Fulham side that have won just once at home this season, they'll be confident of picking up maximum points at the expense of the Cottagers.
  • United have won their last 6 meetings with Fulham in all competitions and despite stuttering early on this season, look set to heap more misery upon the west London side.
Prediction:
Fulham
