Manchester United saw off Fulham with plenty to spare as they moved into the top four in the Premier League.
Two goals from Paul Pogba and a third from Anthony Martial were more than enough as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's unbeaten run was extended to 11 at Craven Cottage.
Here's how it played out:
Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League.
First up it's Fulham vs Manchester United from Craven Cottage.
The hosts are battling for their Premier League lives while United head down to west London with their eyes firmly on a top four spot.
We'll have all the latest build-up and action for you right here so don't touch that dial.
The team is in.
The big news from Manchester United is Marcus Rashford is not playing, he's on the bench with Romelu Lukaku given a start up front.
And here is the Fulham XI, with Vietto for Christie and Schurrle for Cairney the changes for the hosts.
If you thought 55 goals conceded from 25 games wasn't bad enough......
Not exactly what you want to be reading if you're a Fulham fan before a clash against one of the top six sides, but this is the highlight of an excellent thread of why Fulham are drawing ever closer to relegation.
So what about Manchester United?
Well, fans will be as thankful as the players for the upturn in form since the arrival of caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Why? Well, in short, it's a huge February for United. They face a huge clash in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, followed by back-to-back clashes with Chelsea and Liverpool in the FA Cup and Premier League respectively.
At the end of February, United could be in all three or none at all. It really is that critical.
Here's what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has had to say ahead of the game.

The damning stats keep rolling in.
Manchester United have not lost since December 16 against Liverpool, which turned out to be Jose Mourinho's last game in charge.
Repeat.
So, just over five minutes till kick-off at Craven Cottage, and I'm sure from the barrage of stats I've thrown at you so far today, there's not exactly a great deal of hope for Fulham.
While they have won just four league games this season, there have been some dramatic high scoring games this season.
Just think back to Southampton in Ranieri's first game, or the win over Brighton.
A very different proposition here today though and United will be confident of going into the PSG game full of confidence.

Huge huge chance goes begging for Fulham early on!
The hosts break from a United free-kick and Schurrle finds Vietto at the back post, but the latter's balance is all wrong and he scuffs his shot horribly wide at the near post.

What a start this is from Fulham! Vietto clips the ball in for Mitrovic who sees his header clear, before Schurrle hits the rebound over the bar.
All the play in Manchester United's half at the moment.

Fulham can ill-afford that though.
Le Marchand's pocket is picked by Pogba deep in the Fulham half, but the hosts get enough bodies back to crowd out the Frenchman.
The warning signs are there.

It's calmed down a bit on this blustery afternoon in west London after an exhilarating opening 10 minutes. Both sides looking to establish some momentum in midfield.
Hard to argue with any of that at the same time.

A few challenges in the last few minutes that have certainly left their impact on the receiving player's end. It's got a bit feisty at the Cottage.
Fulham however are yet to really respond to going a goal down. There early chances show they can be a threat this afternoon though.
