Man Utd v Fulham

Man Utd vs Fulham Preview

Manchester United will be looking to put the icing on top of the proverbial cake when they play host to Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon in what is their final home game of the season, and having already sealed a place in next season's Champions League, there will be something of a party atmosphere here.

Three wins on the trot, culminating with a resounding and comprehensive 4-1 rout of Chelsea on Thursday night confirmed Manchester United's place in a top four finish and the financially lucrative Champions League spot for next season, following previous wins against Wolves and Bournemouth.

It's fair to say United have had their worrying moments at times throughout this season as they suffered a humiliating 7-0 defeat to Liverpool along with recent defeats at Brighton and West Ham, but definite progress has been made this term under manager, Erik ten Hag.

Old Trafford has once again become a fortress and this is underlined by the fact that the Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 17 games on home soil, which also includes 11 clean sheets as well.

This makes this upcoming trip to Old Trafford a tough one for Fulham but the London club aren't likely to worry too much as The Cottagers can be very satisfied with how this season's Premier League campaign has unfolded with the visitors currently sitting in the comfort of a mid-table 10th place position in the English top flight.

Fulham have also had to endure tough periods at times within this season as the London club have suffered a four-match and three-match losing streak since the start of March to date but Marco Silva's side have also captured wins against Everton, Leeds United, Leicester City and Southampton which has helped them keep the bottom three clubs at arms length.

Fulham have produced inconsistent results away from home though this season and although The Cottagers have picked up seven wins on the road so far in this campaign, the visitors have also been handed no fewer than nine losses as well, which makes this trip to Manchester on Sunday a tough prospect.

Manchester United v Fulham Verdict

Manchester United have won five of the last six meetings against Fulham so the Red Devils look in good shape to collect all three points on Sunday against an inconsistent Fulham side on the road.

Therefore, our main bet will be Man Utd win @ 1.50

Other side bets worth considering:

Under 2.5 goals @ 2.63

Correct score: Man Utd 2-0 @ 10.00
