After a break for European football, it’s back to Premier League play for Ruben Amorim and Manchester United as they take on Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday. The Red Devils have already started to become active in the transfer market with Antony heading to real Betis on loan, but incoming moves have yet to happen at this stage. Facing Marco Silva at home has been a tough challenge for teams this season as the Whites push for a top-half finish and an outside chance of a European spot if things can break their way.

Storylines
Fulham: Heading into this match, Silva almost has a clean bill of health, as Kenny Tete and Riess Nelson are the only absentees. Nelson has returned to practice, so while this game will come too early to call, this is a team that is getting healthy at the right time. Led by Antonee Robinson’s nine assists, the Fulham attack has been giving teams problems all season and that will continue to be the case when hosting Manchester United.
Fulham predicted xi: Bernd Leno, Antonee Robinson, Calvin Bassey, Joachim Andersen, Timothy Castagne, Sander Berge, Sasa Lukic, Alex Iwobi, Emile Smith Rowe, Harry Wilson, Raul Jimenez
Manchester United: It’s another week of sweating the injury report for Amorim as Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro are all game-time decisions due to knocking and bunching. Victor Lindelof will also face a late fitness test, but he is further behind that trio at the moment. Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Jonny Evans will all miss the match.
