Iwobi is enjoying his best season in the Premier League to date. The 28-year-old has registered 10 goal contributions across his 27 Premier League appearances this season (7 goals, 3 assists), already eclipsing the 8 goal contributions he managed across the entirety of the last campaign.

He’s averaging 2.07 shots per game across these appearances and is on Fulham’s strongest side of the pitch. He’s partnered by Antonee Robinson who supports Iwobi by occupying the channels which allows the Arsenal academy product to take up positions in the half space where he is more likely to get shots off.

Iwobi had 2 shots in the recent league meeting between Manchester United and Fulham at Craven Cottage with both of his efforts finding the target and stinging the gloves of Andre Onana.

Andersen is quite an aggressive centre back, he’s committed 16 fouls across his 19 Premier League appearances for the Cottagers this season (0.86 per 90).

Fulham have transitioned to a back 3 as the season has progressed meaning that they’ll match Manchester United up when it comes to team shape here. This pits Andersen up against Alejandro Garnacho who is averaging 1.70 fouls won per 90 in the Premier League this season.

Andersen committed a foul in the recent meeting between the sides at Craven Cottage, he contested 9 duels in the game and actually managed to win 8 of those which was the most of any player on the pitch. This duel success rate is unlikely to stay this high here which should result in Andersen committing at least 1 foul in this contest.

Both meetings between these sides this season have been cagey. Manchester United came out on top in both meetings by a 1-0 scoreline but Fulham managed to keep the Red Devils out until late on in both games.

Manchester United are really struggling to consistently create chances which has meant that their games can often be quite dull. Fulham are almost the perfect match for this, their defensive organisation masterminded by Marco Silva already makes it really difficult for the opposition to fashion out high quality chances, even before considering United’s issues in sustaining attacking pressure.

Fulham have seen under 3.5 goals in each of their last 5 games across all competitions whilst Manchester United have come in under this line in 3 of their last 5 games across all competitions.

Onana’s role as Manchester United’s number 1 has been questioned again this season, the keeper made further errors in Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Ipswich last time out. These errors will pile on the pressure to an already nervy Manchester United backline, encouraging the opposition to test him.

Onana has been forced into making 2+ saves in both league meetings with Fulham this season, Fulham are patient with their chance creation but usually get a few clear cut opportunities per game as a result of their structured build-up.

The Manchester United keeper has been forced into making 2+ saves in 20 of their 27 Premier League games this season (74%). Fulham can test an unsettled Onana in the Manchester United goal here as they did in both league meetings between the sides.

Bruno Fernandes appears to be the 1 shining light in the final third for Manchester United. The injury to Amad Diallo has left the Red Devils very light in attacking areas with Fernandes stepping up to the mark in recent weeks.

Fernandes has provided a goal contribution in both rounds of the FA Cup so far against Leicester and Arsenal and enters this round with plenty of momentum. Fernandes kickstarted Manchester United’s recovery with a free kick in their 2-2 draw with Everton recently, as well as providing an assist in their 3-2 win over Ipswich.

Fernandes has registered 13 goal contributions across his 26 Premier League appearances this season making him the most likely in the Manchester United squad to register a goal contribution with the likes of Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund still yet to find their feet in English football.

Lukic has been shown 10 yellow cards across his 22 Premier League appearances this season, more than any other player in the Fulham squad.

He’s averaging 2.53 fouls committed per 90 across these appearances, which matches up with his card numbers quite well and is promising when considering the number of games this average is stretched across.

Lukic was shown a yellow card in Fulham’s recent 2-1 win over Wolves and will be up against Manuel Ugarte in what could be a real battle, the Uruguayan is averaging 1.78 fouls won per 90 across his 20 Premier League appearances this campaign.

Manchester United are averaging 10.9 fouls committed per game in the Premier League this season, frustration has got the better of Ruben Amorim’s side at pointss,with the FA Cup representing just 1 of 2 competitions Manchester United can still win this season.

United committed 12 fouls in the league meeting between these sides at Old Trafford on the opening day of the season. We should see a continuation of United coming in around this mark but it could increase when considering that Fulham have tweaked their system slightly since then and will match United in a 3-4-3 shape.

This should increase the number of individual battles that take place across the park with pretty much every player having a direct man for man opponent.

Fulham managed 8 corners in their league trip to Old Trafford on the opening day of the season. They fell just one corner short of this line in the recent meeting at Craven Cottage but their corner count in their away games this season makes for promising reading.

Fulham are averaging 4.92 corners per game across their 13 trips in the Premier League this season. Opposition sides are not afraid to press Manchester United high up the pitch and pile pressure on a nervy Onana who has made a flurry of mistakes in recent weeks and months, particularly from corners which is something Fulham will be aware of.

Manchester United are conceding 3.50 corners per game at Old Trafford in the Premier League this season, which should rise slightly when considering Fulham’s corner record away from home this campaign.
