Please please please let it be Mbeumo up front, not Cunha. Playing Cunha up front just hasn’t worked so far this season.
Well it’s certainly not Benjamin Sesko. He’s still waiting for his first league start this season.
Fulham are unchanged from the side that drew at Anfield while United make one tweak from their derby loss against Manchester City: Luke Shaw replaces Patrick Dorgu.
The teams
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Affengruber, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Charles, King, Bobb, Gonzalo, Iwobi
Subs: Lecomte, Andersen, Sessegnon, Larsson, Manuel Ángel, Smith Rowe, Palacios, Kevin, Muniz
Manchester United: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martínez, Shaw, Tielemans, Mainoo, Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford, Cunha
Subs: Darlow, Dorgu, Mazraoui, Yoro, Andrey Santos, Baleba, Mount, Lacey, Zirkzee
Preamble
We’re four league games in and I’m getting spammy emails about how Michael Carrick is 5/2 to get sacked before Christmas. It’s all a bit silly but a reminder of how intense his position is, the game changing now he doesn’t have that interim tag. So how does a visit to Craven Cottage sound? On the one hand, Fulham are bottom of the league, with Alvaro Arbeloa feeling some heat, too. On the other, slip up here and my inbox will probably get a whole lot louder. Let’s get stuck into it: kick-off’s at 4.30pm BST.
