Man United suffered a rare home loss last Saturday after Liverpool beat them 4-1. Within minutes of the final whistle United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was already demanding an immediate response from his players. United have grown used to two matches a week throughout the campaign, in EPL and Champions League, but their players must have been bitterly disappointed to have had to wait seven days to atone for what was a painful defeat. That’s a great chance to rest players so they’ll be ready for action Saturday. Man U is 8W-1D-1L in their last ten games where they’ve outscored their opponents 18-6. Cristiano Ronaldo leads his teammates with 13 goals, while Wayne Rooney has nine and Dimitar Berbatov has eight goals. Berbatov leads Man U in Champions League goals with four and Rooney has three. They have won their last five away matches and are looking for a ninth straight Premier League win over Fulham. To give them even more confidence, United have already beaten the Cottagers twice this term, 3-0 in the league at Old Trafford and a 4-0 victory in the FA Cup at Craven Cottage.
Fulham recently beat Bolton on the road 3-1. They are 3W-2D-5L in their last ten games where they’ve been outscored 10-12. Now, ahead of Saturday’s Barclays Premier League clash, Fulham defender John Pantsil says his team-mates are determined to avoid further embarrassment. “They’ve beaten us on two occasions already but we know what we want to do and we don’t want to go back to where we were two weeks ago,” he said. And despite the recent meetings with United, there’s no reason Fulham shouldn’t be confident. The Cottagers are enjoying one of their finest seasons for years and boast the sixth best home record in the league. In fact, Roy Hodgson’s team have already beaten the likes of Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham at Craven Cottage this season, while Chelsea only managed a 2-2 draw. Fulham currently sit sixth in the English Premier League.
Head to Head:
- Man United leads Fulham 11-1
- Man United leads 7-1 on the road
- Three games ended in a draw at Fulham
