Fulham v Manchester United: Match Preview, When and Where to watch, Form Guide, Head to Head and Key Players | Premier League 2018-19
Ahead of their high profile match against Paris Saint-Germain in the midweek, Manchester United travel to London as they face relegation-threatened Fulham at the Craven Cottage on Saturday.
With 7 points separating the Cottagers from safety, Claudio Ranieri and his men have an uphill task ahead of them. 4 wins, 2 clean sheets and 55 goals conceded, Fulham are in real trouble at the moment, with the fear of relegation looming large.
A win against an on-song Manchester United will give the Cottagers more than just a welcome boost.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finally has a chance to break into the top 4 of the Premier League for the first time since his appointment. The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 10 matches, winning 9 of them, under the Norweign manager. A victory on Saturday will be their fifth consecutive away win in all competitions since Solksjaer has taken the reins.
The last encounter between the sides ended with Manchester United thrashing Fulham 4-1 at Old Trafford.

Ranieri will need his No. 9 to be in top form if they are to upset Manchester United.
Manchester United: Marcus Rashford
The England international completed 100 appearances in the Premier League last time out, making him 15th in the list of youngest players to achieve the feat. Another goal against the Cottagers will see the 21-year-old scoring 10 goals in a season for the very first time in his career.
