Manchester United V Fulham

Sir Alex Ferguson

Manchester United con­fid­ently look to keep their place at the top of the table with a home game against Ful­ham on Sunday. While The Man­cuni­ans truly enjoyed the mid­week clash with Milan, the West Lon­don­ers evid­ently found the going a lot harder in their Europa League match against Juventus with the Old Lady win­ning in grand style.

Sir Alex Ferguson´s Manchester United enter­tain Ful­ham on a high after a com­fort­able 4–0 tri­umph over Silvio Berlusconi´s Milan team at The Theatre of Dreams on Wed­nes­day in the UEFA Cham­pi­ons League. Since Manchester United were sur­pris­ingly beaten 3–0 by Ful­ham at Craven Cot­tage back in Decem­ber last year, the defend­ing Barclays Premier League Cham­pi­ons have lost only once in eleven league matches. As for Ful­ham, Roy Hodgson´s troops go into the game against Manchester United undefeated in their last five Premier League matches and are attempt­ing to win at Old Traf­ford for the first time since Octo­ber 2003. Amer­ican mid­field play­maker Clint Demp­sey could be in line to make his first start for Ful­ham in two months in Sunday’s encounter against The Manchester Reds, but The Lil­ly­whites are still without Andrew John­son, John Pantsil, and Kagisho Dikga­coi. The Old Traf­ford club, for their part, will prob­ably have to make do without the ser­vices of Oli­veira Ander­son, Michael Owen, John O’Shea and Wes Brown.
