Another game that should, on paper, present us with few few problems, even if we do field a "weakened" team, which seems inevitable given the match coming up against Inter on Wednesday. Having said that, Fulham do have one of the better home records in the Premier League, winning 8 of their 11 home games and losing only 2 (West Ham and Hull). So I don't see it being quite the stroll in the park that our recent game against them was. Though, as the BBC point out, they haven't a very good recent record against Premiership teams in the FA Cup:
Facing Premier League opposition for the first time in this current cup run, and the first occasion since being knocked out at the fifth round stage home to Tottenham in the year before last.
Not ousted a fellow Premier League club since Everton in the fourth round in 2004. It was two rounds later that season when they last faced and lost to Manchester United in this competition.
And The Mirror points out:
Can't find a "probable" team in the papers to base my own on, so let's just make one up-
Foster, O'Shea, Evans, Vidic, Welbeck, Scholes, Gibson, Nani, Tevez, Rooney.
Centre of defence being any two of three, Scholes to figure because he won't play Wednesday, Ronaldo deserves a rest, Rooney having just come back maybe needing more minutes under his belt for Wednesday, Anderson could possibly figure.
Prediction: The team we put out won't change anything about the scoreline, a comfortable win by a couple of goals - Fulham 0 Man Utd 2.
The Red Devils have won their last seven matches against Fulham.So maybe it will be the stroll in park our last game was...
Fulham have not managed a goal against United in their last three fixtures.
United have managed to put at least two past the Whites before half time in five of their last seven meetings.
