United are in a great shape, as they have a single defeat (away to Everton, 1-3) in last eleven games and have a point less than Londoners. With a win today would occupy a top again. This game comes after smashing AC and squad looks full of confidence. Rio and Vidic again play together and number of conceding goals should be significantly reduced, while Rooney plays in a life shape. Ferguson is a motivation expert and I don’t expect any relaxation today, especially because the visitors are a decent side. Michael Carrick returns to the squad after serving the suspension and probably will replace Scholes who has played twice in five days. Manchester United have won each of their last five home games against Fulham.
Fulham have been noticing a big improvement under Hodgson. Not so long ago they were fighting to avoid relegation, while these days play in Europe and are a decent Premier League side. But their home record is much better than on the road. They have just one away win (at the opening day vs. Pompey, 1-0) and have noticed a total of just nine points in 14 games. They also come in today’s game after Europe. The difference is they actually don’t have too much (any) experience playing in Europe and I think they’ll have more problems to focus on Premier again. And all in the club think they made a good result against Juve and have a chance for progress. Re-match is at next Thursday and will be hard not to think on that. Also, Hodgson have a limited number players in the squad, key players have played almost all games in 2010 and start to feel fatigue. I won’t be surprised if he even decide (following Mick McCarthy’ invention) to rest his best players for Juve and give up from today’s game before it even started. Clint Dempsey returns to the squad after the recovering from the knee injury, while Danny Murphy has a slight groin problem. Fulham have not scored in 365 minutes of away league football
At this stage of season, it’s very hard to expect any of the leading sides will lose the points. United have a special motive as they were defeated in the first game vs. Fulham (Carrick played a centre-back, 1-3). They’re in a great shape, won’t lack in motivation, home record is impressive and I expect a win with few goals margin. Bet is -2 asian handicap.
