Fulham travel to Old Trafford on Sunday, aiming to secure a victory that would move them to within one point of the Champions League places.
The Cottagers have moved through their most successful period in Premier League history, picking up 17 points from their last eight games. Marco Silva’s side currently sits seventh and arrives in Manchester with the division’s best set-piece record over the last two months. While United are the league’s form team, Fulham have historically been a difficult opponent for them, having avoided defeat in four of their last 20 meetings, including a draw earlier this season.
Fulham Team News
Marco Silva manages a squad bolstered by the return of several key international stars, though he must wait to hand a debut to his newest signing. Notably, Oscar Bobb joined the club for £27 million this week but is currently sidelined through injury. Consequently, Silva is likely to stick with the attacking unit that has served him so well recently. Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey are both back from AFCON and are expected to go straight into the starting XI.
Bernd Leno will start in goal, protected by a central defensive pairing of Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey. Antonee Robinson will look to continue his excellent form at left-back. In midfield, Sander Berge will provide the defensive screen, allowing Emile Smith Rowe and Harry Wilson to support the attack. Wilson has been in sensational form, providing nine goal contributions in his last 10 games. Raul Jiménez is expected to lead the line as the lone striker.
Fulham Predicted Lineup
Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Iwobi, Berge; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Chukwueze; Jiménez
