2012-08-25 - Manchester United vs Fulham

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

After the 1-0 opening day defeat to Everton, Manchester United will need to collect all three points here with Robin van Persie expected to make his home debut for the Red Devils.

Even though Robin van Persie came on as a substitute after Marouane Fellaini's 57th minute goal, he was unable to change things but he could start with Rooney today.

Fulham on the other hand started off with a 5-0 win over newcomers Norwich, but they know this will be a much tougher game at the Theatre of Dreams.

Fulham's five goals haul was impressive as they were without striker Clint Dempsey, with the USA international linked with a move to Liverpool.

In recent head to heead meetings, Manchester United have an excellent record against Fulham having won four and lost none of their last five Premier League games, keeping clean sheets in all four wins.

Team News :

Manchester United Team News :
United's biggest worry is in defence with Rio Ferdinand, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans all still ruled out, and while Phil Jones has returned to training he will not feature.

Nemanja Vidic was partnered by midfielder Michael Carrick at Goodison Park, but Ferguson has hinted that he could be tempted to move left-back Patrice Evra into the centre against Fulham.

New signing Alexander Buttner has been brought in but he is likely to start on the bench for this match. Meanwhile, new recruit Shinji Kagawa will make his first Old Trafford appearance following his debut against Everton.

Fulham Team News :
Martin Jol admitted he is not likely to field Clint Dempsey after admitting the forward's interest has been distracted by an interest shown from Liverpool.

Mladen Petric made an immediate impact following his summer arrival from Hamburg with two goals against Norwich and could start alongside Bryan Ruiz once again. Hugo Rodallega is set to start from the bench once again.

Welsh midfielder Simon Davies (neck) was not involved against the Canaries but could be involved at some point in this match. Meanwhile, Kerim Frei (pelvis) and Philippe Senderos (foot) are unavailable, but Zdenek Grygera (knee) has been passed fit.

Predictions :

Take Manchester United to win and give the 1 1/2 ball away.
