TEAM NEWS
Diogo Dalot is serving a one-match suspension, having picked up five yellow cards in the Premier League already this season, but Cristiano Ronaldo could be available again after illness. Raphael Varane is still injured, although he was selected in France’s World Cup squad this week.
United will also check on wingers Antony and Jadon Sancho, who are yet to play in November due to injury.
The Cottagers have their own suspension concerns, as right-back Kenny Tete and central midfielder Harrison Reed are forced to sit this one out. Bobby Decordova-Reid served his ban last weekend, when Marco Silva's side had their hearts broken by a late Erling Haaland penalty as they lost 2-1 at Manchester City.
Top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic is out, after also missing the City game.
“Mitrovic will not play on Sunday,” Silva said. “It will be more or less the same players who are available.”
Manor Solomon and Neeskens Kebano have been ruled out for a long period.
FORM GUIDE
Despite an exciting 4-2 Carabao Cup success against Aston Villa on Thursday, United are still looking to bounce back from last Sunday’s Premier League defeat at Villa Park and end the first portion of the campaign on a high.
Fulham were not involved in the Carabao Cup in midweek, having fallen to a shock 2-0 defeat at League Two club Crawley Town during the second round back in August. The last-gasp reverse at Manchester City on Saturday brought to an end a strong recent run for the Cottagers, as victories over Aston Villa and Leeds were bookended by draws with Bournemouth and Everton.
Marco Silva’s side have been particularly impressive on home soil this season, with only high-flying Newcastle escaping SW6 with all three points so far.

PLAYERS TO WATCH
United old boy Andreas Pereira has impressed for his new side, with only five players topping his total of four assists so far, while summer addition Joao Palhinha leads the league for tackles, despite his combative style meaning he has already served a one-match suspension for accumulating five yellow cards.
The Cottagers have conceded 24 goals so far, the most of any side in the top half, but former Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno has produced a number of point-winning performances, while Tim Ream and Tosin Adarabioyo have established a promising-looking defensive partnership.

RECENT MEETINGS
The Reds have fond memories of visiting Craven Cottage in the last decade, winning on each of our last five trips and scoring 14 goals in the process. A Paul Pogba stunner secured all three points in January 2021, in a game played behind closed doors during the Covid pandemic.
You’d have to go back to 2009 for Fulham’s last success against us on their home ground, when they followed up a 2-0 win in March with a 3-0 victory nine months later. Those are our only two reverses against the Cottagers in London since the 1960s.
