Man Utd vs Fulham prediction, stats, tips and team news

Fulham travel to Man Utd in an FA Cup fifth-round clash on Sunday, 2nd March, at 4:30pm (UK time). The match will be broadcast live in the United Kingdom on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. 

Under 2.5 Goals (1/1 with Betfair)

Manchester United have struggled to create big chances all season and only Leicester City have scored the game’s first goal fewer times than Ruben Amorim’s men this season. Three of the last meetings between Manchester United and Fulham have finished with a 1-0 scoreline and another snooze-fest could be on the cards on Sunday.

Under 1.5 Goals & Under 1.5 Cards (33/1 with Paddy Power)

When these two teams met in the Premier League at Craven Cottage just one month ago, the game finished 1-0 to the visitors with just one card being shown. There has been a decrease in the number of cards being shown in the Premier League over the last couple of months and I think another low card count looks likely here. Referee Stuart Atwell takes the whistle for this one and he only dished out one booking on his most recent Premier League game he took control of.

How both teams go into Man Utd vs Fulham

Despite their woes, Man Utd have done well in the FA Cup so far, seeing off two Premier League teams. First, they knocked out old rivals Arsenal 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium, even initially taking the lead in normal time through Bruno Fernandes before the Gunners pegged them back. Then, they came from behind to see off old interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City side 2-1, with Harry Maguire netting a dramatic 93rd-minute equaliser.

Fulham’s path to the fifth round has been a little more straightforward, first thrashing Watford 4-1 at home before beating Wigan Athletic 2-1 away — although the latter did see Wigan draw level five minutes after half-time, before the Cottagers restored their lead just another five minutes later. Rodrigo Muniz has been their go-to man in this competition, netting three goals in two matches, including a brace against the Latics.

Man Utd team news

Patrick Dorgu is suspended after his red card against Ipswich. Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw, Amad Diallo, Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo and Tom Heaton are all out injured.

Fulham team news

Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson, Harry Wilson and Kenny Tete are all on the treatment table for Fulham.

Man Utd vs Fulham head-to-head

As mentioned, United have beaten Fulham 1-0 in three of the last four meetings between these sides. Fulham won the other 2-1, which was their first victory over the Red Devils since December 2009, when goals from Danny Murphy, Bobby Zamora and Damien Duff delivered a shock 3-0 win at Craven Cottage.
