Fulham
Marco Silva does not have any new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Fulham manager will be bereft of the services of two first-team players vs Manchester United on Sunday.
Kenny Tete (knee) and Reiss Nelson (hamstring) remain on the sidelines, with the duo not close to returning yet. Meanwhile, Sasa Lukic will hope to avoid a booking as his next yellow card will be his tenth of the 2024/25 Premier League season, incurring him a two-match suspension.
Bernd Leno will take his spot between the sticks, with Fulham lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Manchester United on Sunday. The backline should feature Timothy Castagne, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, and Antonee Robinson.
As for the midfield unit, Sasa Lukic should pair up with Sander Berge in the double pivot, with the duo looking to keep things tight in the middle of the park. Emile Smith Rowe will reprise the no. 10 role, with Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi being the two wide attackers. Finally, Raul Jimenez will lead the line for Fulham against Manchester United.
Manchester United
Like his counterpart in the Fulham dugout, Ruben Amorim does not have any new issues to worry about ahead of the trip to Craven Cottage. The Manchester United manager will be without three first-team players on Sunday.
Luke Shaw remains the most notable absentee due to a calf injury. The English international will accompany Jonny Evans (muscle) and Mason Mount (hamstring) on the sidelines. However, Victor Lindelof might be in the matchday squad after training this week.
Andre Onana is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Manchester United lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation in front of him vs Fulham on Sunday. The central defensive unit should feature Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, and Lisandro Martinez, with Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot being the two wing-backs.
As for the midfield unit, Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo should pair up in the middle of the park for the away side. Finally, Rasmus Hojlund will spearhead the Manchester United attack against Fulham, with Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo completing the numbers in the offensive trifecta.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Traore; Jimenez
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez; Diallo, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
Prediction: Fulham 2-2 Manchester United
Clean sheet-less in 13 games across all competitions, Man United's defensive efforts are likely to prove futile against a Fulham side averaging 1.6 goals per game, their best in a Premier League season on record. Silva's side can still get caught out inside their own defensive third, though, and we expect the stalemate specialists to play out another one-pointer of the thrilling variety, as Amorim avoids that unprecedented seventh league loss for now.
