Manchester United fought really hard in order to avoid the loss at home against Arsenal on Wednesday, and proved yet again that they are now in very good shape lately. They will have to deal with a lot of injury concerns when they will host Fulham on Saturday. Fulham have been better since the change in coach but their schedule isn’t helping.

Manchester United (6-4-5) are coming into this match after a really hard battle at home against Arsenal. They were better in the first half but had to come back from one goal behind. Arsenal took the lead twice in that match but Manchester United pulled even on both occasions, as the two teams split the points in a 2-2 draw. United have now won just one of their last five, but have lost just once in the process (1-1-3). They are now sitting at the 8th spot of the Premier League with 23 points, just one point ahead of Leicester but a whole eight points behind Arsenal and Chelsea. Manchester United have been really hard to beat at home so far in the league (3-1-3), where they also have a win, a draw and a loss in the Champions League.
Fulham (2-10-3) have been steadily improving under the new coach, and they are now coming off a 1-1 home draw against Leicester. They were quite active in that match and took the lead at the end of the first half. But their defense is still a bit of a mess and allowed an equalizing goal at the 74th minute for the final 1-1. Fulham are still sitting at the bottom of the league table with 9 points, but now have just as many as Burnley and Southampton. They have been pretty weak on the road so far in the season, losing seven of their eight matches so far (0-7-1). They have scored just 5 away goals so far and have conceded at least twice in five of their last six.

The two teams usually produce a lot of goals in their matches, but it is Manchester United who have dominated this match-up. They are undefeated in the last ten against Fulham (8-0-2) and have been dominant as hosts in the past couple of decades (14-1-1). But they have a lot of injury concerns in the back and Fulham might take advantage here. This looks like another high-scoring match.
