Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Manchester United & Fulham face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

United have less rest than Fulham in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Europa League game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Real Betis.

Manchester United are steadily winning Premier League games and points here at Old Trafford. 9 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 13 games.

Fulham form and stats

They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the 4th round.

Playing away, Fulham have won 5 games, drawn 2 and suffered 6 defeats in the Premier League this season.

Fulham's previous game was their home loss versus Arsenal (after extra-time) (0-3). Fulham lost heavily in their last match (against Arsenal as mentioned above) and the damage happened in the first half. Something did not go right in the pre-game preparations. Solomon got a match rating of 7.34 in that game, top player of the team. Solomon hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 21 successful passes (of 24 total).

It was a Premier League defeat before that one as the away game against Brentford (after extra-time) wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

Fulham have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 17 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Fulham have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Manchester United have avoided defeat in the last 15 fixtures (12-3-0) against Fulham.
