Manchester United L-W-D-W-W
Fulham D-L-W-D-D
Description
Manchester United will start this match hoping discover back form following their surprise 1 - 0 loss at the Reebok Stadium to Bolton previously. Following Arsenal's run of 3 straight league wins had put pressure on Manchester United not to produce any more further slips. Fulham on the other side will be preparing this match with grims faces on their face after being held to a 2 - 2 draw at home to Blackburn the previous fixture. Despite Fulham having the lead twice, Blackburn managed to draw level both times and left Fulham grumbling over some bad refereeing decisions.
Manchester United are on Fire~
Manchester United will have star striker Wayne Rooney set to make his return after a 3 match absence. Wayne Rooney's presence and composure will proof vital for Manchester United to achieve a satisfying result.
Manchester United are the number 1 home team in the league so far this season, winning 6 out of 7 matches played scoring 14 goals and conceding only 1. This record proof too much for Fulham to handle as they are struggling to find form away from home so far managing only to get 3 points out of a possible 18.
Fulham had lost to Manchester United the past 5 years while playing at Old Trafford, judging by their poor away form so far this season it is highly possible for Manchester United to get a 6 consecutive win against Fulham at Old Trafford.
Fulham will likely to operate defensively
Fulham's manager Lawrie Sanchez will get his team to play a defensive style and hitting Manchester United on the break. Looking at the way Manchester United suffered from such styles of play at the start of the season which limited Manchester United scoring only 4 goals in 6 matches played despite having a majority of possession.
Such ways of play had frustrate the Manchester United players when they could not find a way past a stubborn defence after a period of time which will hence urge the players to push further forward to get the opener, by doing so there will be more gaps at the defence and thats the chance for Fulham to hit Manchester United on the break.
Therefore. . .
Manchester United great home form is way too strong for Fulham to handle, trust Alex Ferguson's side to keep track on leader's Arsenal and let Fulham taste another away defeat.
Manchester United -1 3/4
