Preview: Fulham vs Man Utd
Fulham host Premiership champions Man Utd this afternoon, with United still eager to stay in touch with Arsenal at the top of the league. Fulham, on the other hand, find themselves in a relegation dog fight and eager for points.
Roy Hodgson's side have lost 1-0 to both Middlesbrough and West Ham United since a surprise 2-1 success over Aston Villa in early January, but the experienced manager is refusing to throw in the towel just yet.
Speaking after going down to a late Hammers winner last weekend, he said: "All I can say is that in the games I've seen us play, we're not getting the points. I'm not seeing us outplayed. I'm seeing the boys work very hard and create goal chances." But the table does not lie and Fulham are currently four points adrift of safety and in need of quick points.
Manchester United's title defence received a second wind last weekend when they cut the gap on leaders Arsenal with a 5-1 demolition of hapless Newcastle United.
The Red Devils took full advantage of a draw from the league leaders to crank up the pressure on the north London club with Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo both helping themselves to braces.
