Fulham vs Manchester United preview

By: Shawn
This weekend, Fulham will play Manchester United in an extremely late Sunday night Premier League encounter.

The Cottagers will undoubtedly like their chances at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva's team should have defeated the Red Devils in the season opener, and nothing about United has intimidated them since.

Fulham overcame Leicester 2-0 last time out to climb up to eighth in the Premier League rankings, and three points today might drive them back into the European picture.

United, meanwhile, had another eventful week.

Following Manchester United's 3-1 loss against Brighton on Sunday, Ruben Amorim labeled his squad as "possibly the worst in Manchester United history."

While United defeated Rangers 2-1 in the Europa League on Thursday night, their performance remains tough to assess.
