Manchester United will be looking to exact some revenge against Fulham on Sunday at Craven Cottage. United lost 3-0 last season to a tricky Fulham squad.
The two clubs have faced off nine times in the past four seasons. Manchester United has six wins and Fulham has three. The Cottagers hold the edge recently with two wins in the last three matches. United hasn’t beaten Fulham at Craven Cottage since March of 2009. The Cottagers have two wins, two draws and one loss in the last five fixtures. The club underperformed to start the Premiership campaign with a goalless draw at Bolton. But, the strikers have shown potential with 11 goals in the last five matches, and the club has allowed only three goals during that period.
Manchester United had a slow start leading up to the season, but hit their stride with a 3-0 win against Newcastle United at Old Trafford in their first match of the Premier League season. The Red Devils now have three wins and two losses in the last five matches. The offense has been on point with 14 goals in the last five fixtures, but the club has also allowed six goals in that time span.
Manchester United is priced to beat Fulham on Sunday but history says that it isn’t a clear cut victory for the Red Devils. United should take the win, but Fulham is well capable of holding them to a draw. Still, it’s hard to envision a third straight loss at Craven Cottage for United.
