Fulham vs Man Utd Prediction

Fulham's defeat to West Ham in the middle of January was their first defeat in nine Premier League encounters but they bounced back at the first opportunity, coming away from the King Power Stadium with a 0-2 win against Leicester last weekend.

Marco Silva's me are sitting comfortably in mid-table at the moment but a sustained run of form could put them in the mix for a European spot.

Such are Man Utd's struggles at the moment that manager Rube Amorim described them as the worst team in the club's history last week. He has since backtracked a little on those comments but the fact remains that they are falling well below the standards expected of them.

A late win over Rangers in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday was welcome, but it was hardly a statement performance from the Red Devils and there remains plenty of work to be done.

Fulham are unbeaten in their last six games at Craven Cottage but four of those have been draws. With Man Utd failing to convince aside from moments of magic from the likes of Amad Diallo, this could once again end all square.
