Fulham visit Manchester United on Sunday. Kickoff will be at 9am EST on Peacock.
This is an exciting time for both Fulham and Manchester United. Fulham has been on a great run recently, Harry Wilson has been on fire, the Nigerian trio is back from AFCON, and now Oscar Bobb has joined the team. Meanwhile Manchester United has shaken off the Amorim era with two shocking wins against Manchester City and Arsenal. Both teams will be looking to keep the good times going.
Fulham should have Tete in the lineup again, although I won't be surprised if he comes on as a sub early in the second half. Muniz and Lukic are not yet available, although Muniz could be back soon. Sadly, Chukwueze lost his mother earlier this week and it is unknown if he will be part of the squad on Sunday. Bobb now wears number 14 for Fulham, but I doubt we'll see him on Sunday. Silva is famous for getting players through a few training sessions before giving them a start - remember when he kept Leno on the bench for a few games after his arrival!
Manchester United got two wins against top tier teams, so they are clearly going to be a tough matchup, but playing against Fulham will be entirely different than City or Arsenal. It will be interesting to see how the two teams line up against each other and it could be a true test of Carrick's managerial skills if Fulham gives a much more defensive look than what he has dealt with so far. If Carrick does get a win, he will equal Amorim's longest wins streak in his tenure with the club.
Fulham vs Manchester United is almost always exciting, so I have high expectations for this match. The two teams are very different from when they played to a 1-1 draw back in August. The outcome of this match will have a huge impact on where the respective fan bases see their squad headed. A win for Fulham and they'll be just a point behind United and we might start to talk more about something beyond a mid-table finish.
