Gearing Up for the Fulham vs Man Utd Showdown
Here's a fresh take on the upcoming Premier League match between Fulham and Man Utd, scheduled for Sunday, 25 January 2025, 9:00 PM at Craven Cottage.
Fulham: On a Roll
After starting the season strong, Fulham has proven their mettle against heavyweights like Liverpool, Arsenal, and even Chelsea. Despite a 4-1 loss to Wolves in November, the team has maintained a steadyform since then, resulting in just one loss in their last ten matches. Fulham has shown impressive resilience in the face of adversity, with commendable displays against Spurs, Arsenal, and Liverpool, and a 2-1 win at Chelsea. Although they faced setbacks in the draw against Bournemouth and Ipswich and subsequently suffered a 3-2 loss at West Ham, the team bounced back with a 2-0 win at Leicester last week.
Bet Now: FUL vs MUN
The Fulham Squad
Marco Silva manages to hold key personnel together, with right back Kenny Tete and on-loan winger Adama Traore unavailable due to injury. Alex Iwobi is expected to recover from an illness and take his place on the field. With a well-settled squad, the only question marks lie within the front four. Harry Wilson, who scored from the bench, or Adama Traore might earn the starting spot up front.
A Chance to Shine for Fulham
Fulham's expansive playing style will pose a threat to Man Utd, particularly as they seem vulnerable. The team will be aiming to take the game to their opponents and secure a big win.
Man Utd: A Struggling Juggernaut
Man Utd has had a dismal league run lately — losing six of their last nine matches. Their home ground has been a haven for opponents, with results such as a 3-2 loss to Nottingham Forest and a 3-0 beating by Bournemouth on home soil. A slight reaction saw a draw with a 2.82 xG tally against Liverpool and a win on penalties against Arsenal in the FA Cup. However, a dismaldisplay led to a 3-1 loss against Southampton and a narrow 3-2 loss at home to Brighton. They only narrowly beat Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Team News for Man Utd
Man Utd continues to be plagued by injuries, with Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof, and Luke Shaw on the sidelines, alongside Mason Mount. Ruben Amorim will have to rely on reserve players to make up for the missing personnel and salvage the team's fortunes.
