Fulham form and stats

With 1 Premier League win, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Fulham are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The Fulham crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Chelsea here at Craven Cottage in a Premier League match. 1-1 away at Tottenham Hotspur before that.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Burnley are coming to town in four days.

Fulham have scored 6 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 13 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Manchester United form and stats

Manchester United, who have the most points (23) away in Premier League, have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 23 points collected from 9 Premier League games. 7 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats is the record so far. Things are running smoothly for Manchester who hasn't tasted defeat in their last twelve matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Arsenal.

212 minutes! That's how long the Manchester goalkeeper David de Gea Quintana and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Burnley.

A new game in only four days for Manchester United, the FA Cup home match versus Liverpool. Busy days.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Manchester are regular goalscorers on their travels. As opposed to that, Manchester have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Fulham, one draw and nine wins for Manchester United. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
