Saturday, February 9, at 14:30, Craven Cottage hosts the match between Fulham vs Manchester United, the game we find in the Premier League’s 26th round.
Fulham: Form of the moment, latest results, statistics
The situation of Claudio Ranieri’s team is as bad as when the Italian decided to change the atmosphere and come to the London bench. In the last lap again, precious points were lost, Fulham lost 0-2 in front of an accessible team, Crystal Palace, in a small London derby. Under these circumstances, the team is on the penultimate spot, with 17 points and has to recuperate seven lengths to score points on Burnley, the first band in the net. Beyond these hardcore figures for a team that has not invested heavily in the batch, the program does not give it any peace, then after Saturday’s match it will play with West Ham United, then with Southampton and Chelsea.
Manchester United: Form of the moment, latest results, statistics
Manchester United is the most successful team of the last eight rounds, which coincided with the arrival of Norsk Solskjaer on the bench. All this time, United not only qualified for the best of the English Cup but also won seven wins and a draw in the championship matches, allowing fans of the “devils” to dream of the big four, hard to reach with Mourinho at the helm. In the past, United won 1-0 on Leicester City, Marcus Rashford was greatly served by Paul Pogba and the team climbed to No. 5 with 48 points, two fewer than Chelsea. What’s right, February is a month that could bust or raise Manchester United, so that by the end of the month will follow duels with PSG, Chelsea, Liverpool and Crystal Palace, some of them in the Premier League , but also in the English Cup or the Champions League.
Fulham – Manchester United: Probable teams, suspended, injured

- Rico; Christie; Odoi; Marchand; Bryan; Chambers; Seri; Cairney; Babel; Vietto; Mitrovic

In the previous five duels between the two, Manchester was forced in four rows and a match ended in a draw.
Obviously there is a big favorite here and that is Manchester United. Fulham knows what that victory is in front of the big teams, at least this season he was spectators, losing to score most of the time and here I come to mind those matches with Arsenal (1-5), Manchester City (0- 3) even on tour with United (1-4). There is clearly a difference of value, which I expect to see charged by the triplet used by Solskjaer in attack and finally we have a victory of the “Red Devils”.
