Fulham vs. Man United EPL Preview

Cottagers Aiming to Build on Midweek EFL Cup Win

Alvaro Arbeloa comes into this round of Premier League fixtures still chasing a first victory of the league season. However, the Cottagers would have gained huge confidence from their latest outing, as they produced a strong attacking display to beat West Ham in the EFL Cup in midweek.

Despite losing three of their opening four in the league, Fulham were much the better team in their recent 0-0 draw against Liverpool, as they gained huge success on the counterattack.

Josh King is enjoying a start to the season, having recorded two goals in four starts. Kenny Tete could be recalled on Sunday, while Hugo Larsson is now up to full fitness and could be deployed in a midfield role.

Likely Lineup:

(4-2-3-1) Leno (GK); Tete, Andersen, Bassey; Robinson; Berge, Charles; Bobb, King, Larsson; Garcia

Questions Already Being Asked of Carrick’s Position

A damaging seven-day period will see Michael Carrick fighting for his job this weekend. Man United suffered a significant loss in last weekend’s Manchester derby, despite playing for the best part of an hour against ten men.

However, things got worse for Carrick in midweek, as United threw away a 2-0 advantage to get dumped out of the EFL Cup by Brighton. That was the first time in over 50 years that United had led by two goals in a home match and lost. Off-field issues are also casting clouds over Old Trafford, with 15-year-old wonderkid J J Gabriel asking to leave the Theatre of Dreams.

More will be expected from Bruno Fernandes on Sunday, as the Portuguese has failed to register a goal or assist in three of the last four EPL fixtures. Benjamin Sesko could be preferred to offer a direct focal point at the top of the field. Meanwhile, Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire will be recalled after being rested for the cup defeat in midweek.

Likely Lineup:

(4-2-3-1) Lammens (GK); Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Mainoo, Tielemans; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford; Sesko

Head-to-Head Stats

Fulham vs. Man United EPL Betting Picks

United are an incredibly short-priced favorite to bounce back to form this weekend. However, their weak defensive record is alarming, having allowed ten in their last five domestic fixtures. Fulham have played better than the bare results suggest this term, and were unfortunate not to upset the odds against Liverpool last week. It will be a different story this Sunday, as we could see them clicking in the final third to pick up a first home win against the Red Devils since December 2009.

• Fulham (+253)
