Match: Fulham vs Man Utd
When: Sunday, 25 January 2024, 21:00
Where: Craven Cottage

Fulham Form

Fulham are having a brilliant season. They sit 10^th in the table and have lost just five of 22 EPL fixtures, fewer than Man City and Newcastle. A shock 4-1 home defeat to Wolves in November has preceded a run of just one loss in 10 rounds of league action. Some notable results included a 3-1 win over Brighton, draws versus Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool and a 2-1 win at Chelsea.

After that fine win, they played out two 2-2 draws at home versus Bournemouth and Ipswich. A 4-1 win over Watford in the FA Cup was followed by a 3-2 loss at West Ham and a 2-0 win at Leicester last weekend.

Fulham Team News

Coach Marco Silva is without right back Kenny Tete and on-loan winger Reiss Nelson. Alex Iwobi should be fit to start after only lasting 45 minutes at Leicester due to illness.

The XI is pretty settled in most areas. The only question marks are in the front four. Adama Traore scored from the bench last week but Harry Wilson could be preferred. The latter created seven chances at the King Power Stadium.

Fulham Motivation

Silva’s team likes to play an expansive style. They will take the game to a vulnerable looking Man Utd.

Fulham will play to win the match and will come into the clash with no fear.

Man Utd Form

United’s league form is shocking with six losses in nine EPL matches. They’ve struggled badly at Old Trafford with results including a 3-2 home loss to Nottingham Forest and a 3-0 thrashing on home soil by Bournemouth.

A slight reaction saw a draw at Anfield (despite giving up 2.82 xG to the Reds) and a win on penalties with ten men at Arsenal in the FA Cup. A poor display saw them beat Southampton 3-1 thanks to Amad Diallo’s hattrick before losing 3-1 at home to Brighton. They needed an injury-time winner to beat Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Man Utd Team News

Man Utd have the same four players ruled out due to injuries. Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof are absent in central defence and Luke Shaw is out too. Mason Mount will play no part in midfield either.

Harry Maguire is set for a recall in defence. Youngster Toby Collyer could get a start in central midfield in preference to Kobbie Mainoo. Joshua Zirkzee is the favourite to lead the line and Amad Diallo should move forward from a wingback role.

Man Utd Motivation

United’s form and results are both dire. Their confidence is low and the team is not absorbing the coach’s ideas.

Ruben Amorim will try to win this match and he simply can’t focus on performance levels right now. He needs a victory by hook or by crook.
