The Red Devils will be looking to bounce back from the defeat against Everton, with a win against the Londoners at home on Saturday.
Manchester United:
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s troops were unable to start their Premier League campaign on a high and ended upon on the losing side, with the Merseysiders reigning supreme.
However, the English giants have a history of bouncing back from defeats and with firepower on their side, Fulham will be wary coming to Old Trafford.
Fulham:
Having thrashed Norwich City 5-0 on the weekend, the Cottagers have set a high standard for themselves. A repeat performance is highly unlikely, although a win maybe in their grasp, especially if Martin Jol can convince Clint Dempsey to stay in London.
Team News:
Manchester United:
Although their potent attacking line-up will be full of stars on their opening home game, Ferguson is facing a major conundrum in defence.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling and Phil Jones are all out with various injuries.
Although Evans has recovered and started training the match comes too soon for him, leaving either Michael Carrick or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 to fill in for him.
New acquisition http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019.
"I need to call Bruce and Pallister! http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903 started training yesterday but tomorrow is too soon for him. Robin has had a few days training since Monday. It's a home game and there's every chance he could get a start.”
"It's pretty much the same as Monday night injury-wise. Alex will be involved tomorrow because he gives that back-up. Evra could actually play centre-back. He has done in the past. But I don't think Alex will start tomorrow, I think he'll be on the bench."
With the defence sorted, attention will turn to midfield, where there are a number of options that could slot in.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 to continue their partnership behind
the main striker.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 may be seen as United’ s forward for the future, but in the mean time Robin Van Persie will lead the charge and should be given his full and home debut when Fulham come to visit tomorrow.
Fulham:
Although facing a tough task against United, the London outfit come into the game full of confidence and no injury worries.
Coach Martin Jol only has two players, Kerim Frei (pelvis) and Phillippe Senderos (foot), on the treatment table, and is unlikely to change his team. However, the Clint Dempsey issue is still yet to be resolved and the American is in contention to a switch
to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809.
Key Players:
Manchester United: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380
The Dutchman is set to make his first start for the club and all eyes will be on him, as he looks to replicate his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 form in Manchester.
Fulham: Moussa Dembele
The Crafty Belgian has been courted by United in the past and will look to justify the hype surrounding him with a good demonstration of his talents against England’s most successful club.
Prediction:
Manchester United 2-1 Fulham
