Predictions, odds, and team news, Manchester United vs Fulham

Premier League Preview

Manchester United have been dealt a blow ahead of their Premier League clash with Fulham on Friday night, with Cristiano Ronaldo ruled out due to a hip flexor injury. The Red Devils will also be without Luke Shaw and Fred, but Marcus Rashford is expected to return to the starting lineup after missing the win over Brentford due to illness.

Fulham have no fresh injury concerns, and manager Marco Silva is expected to field a similar side to the one that beat Everton last weekend. Aleksandar Mitrovic and Harry Wilson are both in good form, and they will be looking to add to their impressive goal tallies against a United defense that has been shaky at times this season.

Predictions

Manchester United are the favorites to win this match, but Fulham have shown that they are capable of beating anyone on their day. The Cottagers have won three of their last four Premier League games, and they will be confident of causing an upset at Old Trafford.

However, United have a strong record at home against Fulham, and they will be determined to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Arsenal last weekend. Ronaldo's absence is a blow, but Rashford's return should give the Red Devils a boost.

Our prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Fulham
