TV: Sky Sports Main Event/Premier League
Fulham’s Recent Form
Fulham are in fine form, having lost only one of their last eleven games and remaining undefeated at home since November. This consistent performance suggests that they are likely to put up a strong fight.
Manchester United’s Situation
Historically, Manchester United has dominated Fulham in this fixture. However, the current season’s landscape has shifted dramatically. With a narrow Europa League tie against MONACO on Thursday, the team’s fitness becomes a point of concern. Nevertheless, I believe United will secure a win, relying on their past successes.
Manchester United’s recent defensive lapses, conceding in their last twelve games, hint that Fulham could also find the back of the net.
Amad Diallo’s Impact on the Match
Having emphasized Amad Diallo’s potential, Cole sees him as a vital component of the Manchester United lineup. Diallo’s brilliance in recent games makes him a must-watch player for this crucial match-up.
Risk of Booking for Sasa Lukic
With nine yellow cards this season, Sasa Lukic is in danger of facing a second suspension if he receives another caution. His caution in this match is a significant betting consideration.
Andre Onana’s Heroic Performance
Andre Onana’s impressive average of 2.55 saves per game this season suggests he will continue to be a strong pillar in the defense, making his goalkeeping record a promising bet as well.
