Manchester United will travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham in the 26th week of the Premier League on Saturday (09/02). United will hunt for victory to keep their chances of finishing in the top 4. Manchester United are still unbeaten with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Already 10 matches passed by Paul Pogba et al without being touched by defeat, even almost perfect by recording 9 wins and 1 draw.
Of the 10 games, 8 of them they played in the Premier League. As a result, slowly the position of Manchester United continues to experience improvement which now sits in fifth place with a collection of 48 points. United are now only 2 points away from Chelsea in rank 4. Given that the new Chelsea will play a day after United play, United have the chance to move up to rank 4. Even though they have the potential to drop to 5th place, at least United will put more pressure on Chelsea in the match.
Manchester United do have to win the game at Craven Cottage later. In addition to giving great pressure to Chelsea, tri-points at Fulham’s headquarters will also be very valuable for United. Because, this February will be a busy month for United, where in addition to having to fight in the Premier League, United will also face PSG in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Meanwhile, in the host camp, the Cottagers still have not moved from the red zone. Claudio Ranieritertahan’s men are ranked 19th with 17 points and are 7 points away from Burnley who are in the safe zone. Aleksandar Mitrovic and colleagues again suffered a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, after the 24th week won their first victory in 2019.
The hosts who are struggling to get out of the relegation zone will try hard to get points at home. The effort will not be easy, considering the opponent faced is Manchester United, who in 10 recent games have not swallowed even though defeat.
In addition, the Cottagers backline is also concerned with 55 times broken into their opponents, worst among the 20 other contestants in the Premier League. Meanwhile the Red Devil attack line also never missed scoring after being taken over by interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer by packing 25 goals in all competitions, or 20 goals in the Premier League. This match will be more likely to be won by the Red Devils camp.
