Fulham: Form and Team News
Álvaro Arbeloa is still looking for his first Premier League win as head coach, with a single point from four league games. That point came in a goalless draw at Liverpool, an improvement after Fulham conceded seven goals in their first three matches. They then edged past West Ham in the EFL Cup, and a win would make it three games unbeaten. Arbeloa is expected to restore the side that frustrated Liverpool rather than the largely second-string team that played at West Ham. Fulham are 19th in the table.
Kenny Tete is out after being concussed, and Tom Cairney is still recovering from a knee injury. Ryan Sessegnon is on the verge of a return from a groin problem and faces a late fitness test.
Manchester United: Form and Team News
United have lost their last two games in all competitions. First they lost the Manchester derby at home, and then they threw away a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 to Brighton in the EFL Cup in midweek. Michael Carrick is under pressure, though his side still have the attacking quality to trouble a leaky Fulham defence.
Carrick has several absentees: Manuel Ugarte, Amad Diallo, Carlos Baleba, Matthijs de Ligt and Tom Heaton. Luke Shaw is a doubt, and Benjamin Sesko has been reported as a knee doubt. Senne Lammens is expected to return in goal, with Patrick Dorgu at left back.
Last Meeting
The teams last met in February, when United won 3-2 at Old Trafford through a stoppage-time goal from Benjamin Sesko.
