Man United vs Fulham Tips
Tip 1
Sasa Lukic can play without any shackles despite a Premier League ban awaiting him for reaching the threshold of yellow cards once this fixture has passed.
The Serbian has managed 10 yellows in 22 top flight matches, with three of those coming in his last seven outings.
With not much between these two, Fulham will fancy their chances of progressing to the next round and Lukic will be key to helping them win the tie with his assertive style in the middle of the pitch.
Tip 2
Bruno Fernandes has a goal contribution in two consecutive matches, netting against Everton in the comeback draw at Goodison Park.
That was his 10th strike of the season across all competitions and the Portuguese skipper even has one in this competition after opening the scoring at the Emirates in the eventual penalty shootout victory over Arsenal in the 3rd round.
Man United Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Ruben Amorim’s side recovered from a potential banana slip at Old Trafford midweek with 10 men for the entire second half when defeating relegation threatened Ipswich Town 3-2 – a result which leaves them level on points with both Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
Patrick Dorgu’s dismissal sees him serve a three-game domestic ban for serious foul play after a dangerous tackle on Omari Hutchinson. He adds to the Red Devils’ woes, as Tom Heaton, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Toby Collyer, Altay Bayindir, Amad Diallo, Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo are all still missing.
Man United Predicted XI: Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Maguire; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dalot; Garnacho, Fernandes; Zirkzee.
Fulham Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Likewise, the Cottagers pulled out a midweek win in close fashion after defeating Wolves 2-1 at Molineux to maintain 9th place above Aston Villa.
Sasa Lukic’s yellow card suspension only applies to PL matches, meaning the midfielder will be available for selection on Sunday. Emile Smith Rowe, however, is likely to miss out with an ankle injury, joining Reiss Nelson, Harry Wilson and Kenny Tete on the sidelines.
Fulham Predicted XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Traore, Pereira, Iwobi; Muniz.
