Fulham vs Manchester United Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Manchester United have the chance to move into the Premier Leagues's top four when they take on Fulham at Craven Cottage in Saturday's early kick-off.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has seen his side earn 22 points from a possible 24 since taking over in December, and victory here would move a point ahead of Chelsea - who face a daunting trip to Manchester City on Sunday.

Latest odds

Having won nine and lost none of the last 11 encounters against this opposition, his side are 4/7 (1.57) favourites with bet365 to move into the Champions League places by coming out on top here.

Meanwhile, the Cottagers lost five of their last six fixtures in all competitions and are 9/2 (5.50) outsiders to pull off a shock with a first win over the guests since 2009.

Just one of the last nine meetings between this pair has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 3/1 (4.00) on this one finishing up all square.

Team news

Marcos Rojo remains unfit despite returning to training, while Chris Smalling will face a late fitness test after withdrawing from the matchday squad to face Leicester due to injury.

Lazar Markovic and Havard Nordtveit could both make debuts after signing on deadline day, although Alfie Mawson is still injured, Cyrus Christie and Marcus Bettinelli both doubtful, and Timothy Fosu-Mensah ineligible to face his parent club.

High-scoring clash

Jose Mourinho enjoyed one of his best 90 minutes of a miserable season in the reverse fixture, with his side running out easy 4-1 winners in an entertaining clash.

The Red Devils have actually improved in attack since then, a worrying thought for Claudio Ranieri's visitors considering they have hardly got better defensively.

After conceding at least twice in each of their last six matches - letting in 14 goals in total - it is hard to see them avoiding another hefty beating here.

Predictions

In fact, odds of 6/5 (2.20) seem too good to miss on United coming out on top in a match featuring over 2.5 goals for the fifth game in seven against Fulham, who have seen at least three goals in five of their last six fixtures.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
