Tips & Predictions

Manchester United will aim to extend their winning streak in the English Premier League to six games when they host Fulham this Saturday at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are five points off the fourth spot in the league table, while Fulham are sitting 12th on the table, nine points clear of the relegation battle.

Manchester United Form & Team News

Manchester United have won 12 out of the last 15 encounters with Fulham. The other three matches have ended in draws, leaving Fulham with no wins. When these two sides met at Craven Cottage earlier this season, Bruno Fernandes scored the only goal of the match in the 91st minute.

Rasmus Hojlund will assume responsibility for goals since the striker has finally hit his stride in the Premier League. The Danish striker has scored in his last six appearances in the league and has taken his Premier League goal tally to seven. Down the flanks, Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford will provide support.

Bruno Fernandes is expected to lead the midfield, with Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo playing deeper. Lisandro Martinez is injured again, so Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane could start in defense with Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot out wide. In goal, Andre Onana will eye his eighth cleansheet of the season.

The visitors will be without their joint-top scorer, Raul Jimenez, because of an injury. Joao Palhinha will also miss the encounter because he will serve his suspension after picking up his tenth booking of the season against Aston Villa last weekend. Rodrigo Muniz is expected to start the next match. The Brazilian has scored four goals in the last three games.

Andreas Pereira will be responsible for creativity in midfield. The 28-year-old will be out to hurt his former club. However, Pereira has only made one goal contribution in the last nine league games. Willian and Bobby Reid are expected to start down the flanks, with Tom Cairney in midfield alongside Harrison Reed.

Antonee Robinson, Tim Ream, Issa Diop, and Timothy Castagne will be in the back four with Bernd Leno in goal. Robinson will be a menace down the left flank and has already provided five assists this season. However, Fulham could be vulnerable on the other flank, with Castagne looking a tad shaky.

Tips & Predictions

Fulham are coming to Old Trafford with just one win in their last five league matches. Their away form has been abysmal since they have only won one of their 12 away league games this season. Fulham’s last and only Premier League victory at Old Trafford came in 2003.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are finally gaining momentum and are unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions. Every statistic, past record, and current form backs the hosts to win this match against Fulham.
