Barclays Premier League

Manchester United will be without suspended duo Wayne Rooney and Jonny Evans, but Paul Scholes is available after his own ban.

The knee injury Rafael suffered against Chelsea is not as bad as first feared but he will not be risked, while Wes Brown and John O'Shea are fit again.

Fulham will assess the fitness of winger Damien Duff, who is suffering from a sore Achilles.

Defender Aaron Hughes is available after recovering from a head injury.

Man Utd
Suspended: Evans & Rooney (both two matches)
Injured/unavailable: Fletcher (virus), Hargreaves (shoulder), Lindegaard & Rafael (both knee)

Fulham
Doubtful: Duff (Achilles)
Injured: Senderos (Achilles)

Man Utd
Berbatov: 21 goals (20 league);
Hernandez: 17 goals (11 league)

Fulham
Dempsey: 11 goals (10 league); Zamora: 6 goals (4 league)

Referee: Mark Jones
Assistant referees: Stuart Burt & Scott Ledger
Fourth official: Michael Oliver
 
Season 2003-2004, Fulham won 3-1 at Old Trafford. SAF was banned for his comments about refereeing. History will repeat itself, right?

There hasn't been a Fulhamish result this season (well Tottenham), in the league at least. Might be the time to get it. 3-0 for Fulham, a Zamora hattrick.
 
Man Utd 4-1 Fulham

Hernandez (2), Scholes, Valencia
Zamora
 
Anderson is fully fit hope he plays,
Man Utd 2 - 1 Fulham
Berbatov (2)- Zamora
 
3-1 United
Berbatov x2, Hernandez.
Zamora.

Hopefully Berbatov comes out the tunnel the machine he was at Upton Park.

25/1 for Berbs to score a hat-trick (on SkyBet)...I stuck a quid on it (H).

Click to expand...

I imagine Scholes will be playing deeper than Gibson?
 
Chelsea on Tues maybe..

Line up is strong enough to win this game.. Hopefully we don't **** it up.
 
Good to see Anderson back in the side. Gibson twice in a week? Too much.
 
First start for Kakuta, nice. Also no AJ or Davies on the bench?
 
3-1 united, scoreline flattering us a bit
