Manchester United v Fulham betting tips: United out to seal second spot

Four of United’s last six league games have seen at least four goals scored, so a Red Devils win with over 3.5 goals is an interesting option at 11/5.

Manchester United v Fulham head-to-head

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side recovered from an early Ademola Lookman goal to secure a 2-1 win at Craven Cottage earlier in the season, with Edinson Cavani’s goal and a fine strike from Paul Pogba enough to earn all three points.

United are unbeaten in their last 13 matches against the Cottagers, dating back to 2009 when they lost back-to-back matches at Craven Cottage.

Fulham have won just once at Old Trafford since 1964.

Previous XI

Fulham: Areola, Tete, Andersen, Adarabioyo, Robinson, Anguissa, Lemina, Cavaleiro, Reid, Lookman, Mitrovic.

Team news

Anthony Martial and Daniel James could be in contention for United, which would be timely with the Europa League final just over a week away. Martial has been sidelined with a knee problem and James has also missed the recent run of games.

Scott Parker will not have Tom Cairney available for the remainder of Fulham’s season. Antonee Robinson, who picked up an ankle injury against Burnley last Monday, is also not expected to play.

Key battles

In-form United forwards Cavani and Greenwood will fancy their chances against a Fulham defence who are seven games without a clean sheet. Cavani has scored eight goals in his last nine games and is evens to score anytime against Fulham.

Paul Pogba has enjoyed himself against the Cottagers, scoring three goals in the two meetings. He is 4/1 to score in a United win.

Fulham’s struggles in front of goal are underlined by the fact that their top scorer Bobby Decordova-Reid has gone 12 games without a goal. He is 7/2 to end that run at Old Trafford.
