2024-25 Premier League: Week 23 – Fulham vs Man Utd

Fulham meet Manchester United in a mid-table Premier League contest at Craven Cottage. 

If Aston Villa lose in the teatime kick-off, victory would see Fulham climb to eighth in the table.

Man Utd meanwhile can go 12th with a win.

 

Team News

Fulham have no fresh injury concerns following their 2-0 win at Leicester last weekend, as Kenny Tete (shin) and Reiss Nelson (hamstring) remain absent.

Man Utd could be without defender, Leny Yoro after he was substituted in their Europa League win over Rangers due to fatigue.

Victor Lindelöf (unspecified), Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs De Ligt (both knock) face late fitness checks.

Jonny Evans (muscle), Mason Mount (leg) and Luke Shaw (unspecified) are still sidelined.

 

When is Kick-Off?

Fulham host Man Utd at Craven Cottage on Sunday 26 January at 7pm GMT, live on TNT Sports 1 in the UK.

 

Stat Attack

 

Prediction

Although they weren’t at their attacking best against Leicester, Fulham dug in resiliently on the defensive front and were crucially clinical which is something that they might need to do at times here given their home form against Utd.

Man Utd though are an inconsistent team and after having needed a late winner to beat Rangers in a tightly-fought game where they continued to often waste chances through poor finishing touches, it is difficult to guess what type of performance will be produced here.

Either way, Fulham certainly are capable of causing issues especially on the flanks and if they can get at Utd’s vulnerable defence, they might just get a point if not the win if can make their fitness advantage count.

Prediction: Fulham 1-1 Man Utd

Result: Fulham 0-1 Man Utd
