Fulham gave a good account of themselves against Ipswich on Wednesday night, having close to 60% of ball possession, attempting 12 shots, with six of them on target and scoring three goals in the process. Harry Wilson opened the scoring inside the opening nine minutes, before second-half efforts from Rodrigo Muniz and Tom Cairney sealed Marco Silva’s side’s passage into the quarter-finals of EFL Cup. Prior to that, Fulham came-from-behind to earn a 1-1 Premier League draw away to Brighton & Hove Albion last Sunday. Hard-tackling Portuguese midfielder Joao Palhinha’s 65th-minute strike helped the Cottagers to earn a point at Falmer Stadium. Meanwhile with three wins, three draws and four defeats in the English top flight so far, Silva’s side can be described as a mixed bag. However, on a positive note, two of their league wins this term has come at the Craven Cottage.
Eric ten Hag, on the other hand, is desperately trying to get his side back on track after suffering back-to-back 3-0 defeats against Manchester City and Newcastle, in the league and EFL Cup respectively. The Red Devils went into the Manchester Derby last weekend as the underdogs and were clearly outclassed by their city rivals. Erling Haaland’s brace and Phil Foden’s late effort handed United their fifth top flight defeat of the season. Four days later, Ten Hag’s men hosted Newcastle, hoping to bounce back, but the Magpies made few more walls of the Old Trafford fortress crumble, as Miguel Almiron, Lewis Hall and Joe Willock scored one goal each to eliminate the reigning champions.
Fulham probable starting lineup: Leno, Castagne, Ream, Bassey, Robinson, Reed, Palhinha, Willian, Pereira, Iwobi, Muniz
Manchester United probable starting lineup: Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Reguilon, McTominay, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund
