Manchester United are looking for a break when they visit Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday night.
Playing in a tight slot for the 19:00 GMT kick-off, the Red Devils are looking for redemption after last weekend a miserable home defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion. An atrocious defensive display gifted the Seagulls victory and saw the pressure mount on Ruben Amorim as United dropped to 13th.
Thursday night proved another draw for the 13-time Premier League champions as they needed a 92nd-minute winner from skipper Bruno Fernandes to beat Rangers 2-1 in the Europa Leagueand they may be relieved to be playing away from the justifiably critical Old Trafford faithful this weekend.
Fulham They won’t prove to be unmotivated and currently sit seven points above United in the Premier League table, having suffered just one defeat in their previous ten games in the competition. Having said that, they have won just three of those battles, including their recent trip to take on Leicester City.

Fulham are just two short for the visit of Man Utd, with Lotee Reiss Nelson missing from the forward line and Kenny Tete also unavailable at right-back. By the way, Marco Silva is fully fit for Sunday.
Andreas Pereira will face his former employers for the fifth time, having only beaten them once. Ex-Liverpool winger Harry Wilson will be looking to punish his former foes and is in promising form with two goals and an assist in his last five outings.
Fulham predicted line-up against Man Utd (4-2-3-1): lazy; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukić, Berge; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez.
Man Utd pending fitness updates on the trio of defenders. Noussair Mazraoui missed Thursday’s win with a minor knock and will be assessed ahead of Sunday’s clash, while Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro are doubts after suffering midweek soreness according to Amorim.
Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans are also absent in defence, but Victor Lindelof is now back in training. Mason Mount is unavailable on Sunday as he continues his recovery from a muscle injury.
Man Utd predicted line against Fulham (3-4-2-1): Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez; Amad, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Garnacho, Fernandes; Zirkzee.
Fulham have won just once against Man Utd in their last 20 meetings – coming to Old Trafford last season – and have not been beaten at Craven Cottage since December 2009. They have an excellent opportunity to change that on Sunday against the outside -Sorts and underperform.
They are likely to cause injuries and a generally disorganized united defense and have scored two or more in their last six matches in all competitions.
United’s unpredictability makes it difficult to know what we will witness from Amorim’s side, but they have scored goals in recent games despite their poor form. Amad Diallo and Fernandes could perhaps be their saviors this weekend.
Prediction: Fulham 2-2 Man Utd
