    Previous EPL Meeting: Fulham 1 - 2 Man Utd 13th Nov 2022

    Man Utd Next Fixture: Man City v Man Utd Sat 3rd Jun 2023 15:00 (FA Cup Final)
    • Shaw was spotted back in training, so should be ok (after having a reported back injury - which was why he was subbed)
    • Mitrovich will be up for this, having been suspended for 8 games in our FA Cup quarter final against them
    • Need same or better as Newcastle to finish 3rd
    • Fulham will finish 10th regardless of this result
    • Since we lost opening weekend at home against Brighton we are unbeaten in 17 EPL home games
    • Weird unrelated fact - our xG of 5.21 against Chelsea last game was the highest of any Premier League game this season (odd considering some of the bigger scorelines)

    I'm consumed by the FA Cup final on Saturday. Is there anything we can do to avert the impending doom?

    I'll keep calling on a god (or their mother) until I find one who can come good. I have a good feeling about mother mary. Those jewish mothers have a way of nagging their sons to do their bidding, even if said son already sacrificed himself for the sins of humanity.

    Surprised we’re not seeing WW starting. I figured given our depth up front being nonexistent and Martials injury record, we’d have rested Martial here. Oh well, let’s lock up third.

    Rolled his ankle. However Erik said before the game today that is possible he may make the Cup Final :)

    So presumably no ligament damage and they may be able to strap it.

    So much was made of how much Ronaldo destabilized the team but the best thing Ten Hag did was benching Maguire. THAT GUY destabilizes the team. Each one of his cameos has proven that.
