Manchester United vs Fulham: Match preview

Manchester United are by far the more decorated team in the FA Cup, having lifted the trophy no fewer than 13 times, including last year. Fulham, by contrast, have never won it, but they have been to the final once, in 1975.

That said, Fulham are in far better shape right now, and will arguably be the favourites on Sunday, despite the relative size of the clubs and despite being away from home. That’s because Manchester United are all over the place, and have been for some time.

They bagged a much-needed win in the Premier League mid-week, but squeezing past 18th-placed Ipswich 3-2 was hardly convincing. In fact, United’s horrendous slump in form, which has continued and indeed worsened since Ruben Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag as manager, sees them only four places above Ipswich.

They’re still in the FA Cup but progress hasn’t exactly been smooth. There was a major scalp against Arsenal in the third round, where they prevailed on penalties, while last time out they needed a stoppage-time goal to get past Leicester.

Fulham, meanwhile, are having another strong season under Marco Silva, sitting ninth in the Premier League. They’ve had easier FA Cup draws, beating Watford 4-1 and Wigan 2-1 to earn this meeting.
