Football review Fulham vs Man Utd: Red Devils deadlocked

The first match of round 11 of the Premier League is the match between Fulham and Man Utd. The Red Devils' situation at the moment probably couldn't be worse. After 15 matches of the season, they have lost 8 matches. Bad results are one thing, Man Utd's performance does not bring any bright spots. Against strong teams, they lose easily, against weak teams, they win with difficulty.

Fulham are not a strong opponent, but Man Utd cannot be complacent. In general, any team meeting Man Utd at this time can win. Fulham certainly will not fall into the visitors' trap. They can calmly defend tightly, blocking the duo Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund. Then, Willian and his teammates wait for the opponent to make a mistake.

But the absence of two key players, Traore and Tete, will significantly affect Fulham's ability to press. The pair are not outstanding but their physical strength and speed are remarkable. Tete cannot appear on the right flank and Ream could be an acceptable option.

In midfield, Andreas Pereira is ready to cause trouble for his old team when behind him are two "clean-up experts" like Reed and Palhinha.

Fulham vs Man Utd form

Fulham are only 3 points behind Man Utd in the standings. In the Premier League, they have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 6 matches, not bad form for an average team.

Man Utd's form hasn't improved at all. They have lost 3 and won 3 of their last 6 Premier League games. If you count their results in all competitions, they have also won 3 and lost 3. But in their last 2 games, Man Utd lost 0-3 to Man City and Newcastle.

Fulham vs Man Utd lineup

Fulham are without Adama Traore, Issa Diop, Tosin and Tete, all of whom are injured and doubtful for the weekend. Muniz, meanwhile, is fit and will be given the chance to replace Raul Jimenez, who has been out of form since the start of the season. Bernd Leno, Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson are all back.

Meanwhile, Man Utd received good news when Aaron Wan Bissaka could return after a long-term injury, but that is rare positive news at the moment.

Luke Shaw (muscle soreness), Amad Diallo (knee injury), Jadon Sancho (internal discipline), Tyrell Malacia (knee injury) and Lisandro Martinez (muscle tear) are all absent. Casemiro has a recurrence of injury and is out.
