Fulham vs Manchester United

Fulham entertain Manchester United on Saturday lunchtime, with the visitors looking to continue their tremendous recent form.

Since Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's appointment in December, United are unbeaten in all competitions, and there is new joy around Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Fulham, who have found it tough in their return to the Premier League, lost last time out at Crystal Palace.

The sides met earlier in the season, with United putting four past the Cottagers - with the visitors scoring the one goal at Old Trafford.

Team News

Andre Schurrle and Cyrus Christie will be fit, with the duos both shaking off injuries.

However, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who is on loan from United, can't play against his parent club.

New signings Lazar Markovic and Havard Nordtveit could make the bench for Claudio Ranieri's side.

United could make a host of changes with Tuesday night's UEFA Champions League tie against Paris Saint Germain in mind.

 

The Managers

Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri: "We know where we are, we know it's very tough and then we need soldiers who have to fight until the end.

"We are ready to fight. I have to motivate them and give my positivity to our players. It's much better to play at home than away."
