Analysis
Fulham had few answers for their illustrious rivals in their last meeting in the FA Cup. It took all of three minutes for Fulham to fall behind in that encounter. United has had an exceptionally good season. They have already won 19 games this season. Fulham has only seven wins to their name. They are in twelfth place and could very easily be dragged into a fight for survival. United will perhaps dominate the game. Even if they fall behind, do not be surprised to see them win the game.
