Manchester United host Fulham in the Premier League this afternoon as Michael Carrick’s rejuvenated side look to stay in the lead in the fight for top four.
United welcome the Cottagers to Old Trafford having secured back-to-back wins against Manchester City and Arsenal over their last two games, with Carrick’s side beating the league leaders 3-2 in a dramatic match last week to rise to fourth.
However, the former United midfielder will know that the match against Fulham will bring a different type of test for his new-look side, with more expectation on the hosts as they face a side below them in the table.
The visitors were able to frustrate United at Craven Cottage earlier in the season and with star man Harry Wilson in fine form, they’ll present a stern test as they look to cut the gap to the hosts to just one point.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

Team news
The hosts will be without Patrick Dorgu for the foreseeable future after it was confirmed that the Dane’s hamstring issue would keep him out of action for around 10 weeks. However, Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee are the only other names on the treatment table, with both expected back in early February.
Kenny Tete could be back in the matchday squad after returning to training last week, though Rodrigo Muniz will not return until next week at the earliest and Sasa Lukic will be out until later in February.
Predicted line-ups
Man Utd XI: Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Cunha; Sesko
Fulham XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Cuenca, Robinson; Iwobi, Berge; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Kevin; Jimenez
