United will be looking to keep the pressure on
current Premiership leaders Arsenal, as Chris Coleman's Fulham visit Old
Trafford.
The former Welsh international took over as full-time manager of Fulham at the beginning of the season. He has defiantly been a surprise package, with the London outfit currently lying 6th in the Premiership. Cristiano Ronaldo and Darren Fletcher could both return to the starting XI after being left out of the Champions League game against Rangers last week. Phil Neville looks certain took keep his place in the team, in favor of Nicky Butt. Luis Boa Morte will return to the Fulham side after recovering from injury and transfer-bound Sean Davis is back and is likely to start for Fulham. Sava is the only major injury doubt due to a shoulder injury. United thrashed Fulham in the corresponding fixture last season 3-0 and non-other than Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a marvelous hat-trick. Unsurprisingly, United have been made firm favorites at Old Trafford, being placed at an unattractive 2/9. A win for the visitors is priced at a massive 9/1. and a draw has been priced at 4/1. |
| One to Watch - Louis Saha |
|
Scoring 53 goals in 105 games, 'Little Louis' can defiantly cause damage to the United back four. The Frenchman hasn't been at his best so far this season but will be looking to prove his critics wrong against the Premiership champions. |
