Manchester United vs Fulham preview

Man Utd face Fulham in the last of the FA Cup quarter-finals, and the tie comes at an interesting moment for both clubs. United have had a volatile few weeks, winning silverware but also suffering one of the most humiliating defeats in their entire history, while the Fulham team's performance levels have fallen off a cliff.

The Cottagers have won plenty of silverware in recent years thanks to their exploits in the Championship, but they’ve never lifted either of the big domestic cups, coming closest in 1975 when they lost the FA Cup final to West Ham.

In recent weeks they've shown a handy knack for snatching results against the run of play, but it seems that Marco Silva's men have dipped into their well of fortune once or twice too often. Back-to-back defeats to Brentford and Arsenal were perhaps overdue, and in order to turn things around they need their main man Aleksandar Mitrovic to start firing again.

The big Serb has scored one goal in 2023, right at the start of the year, and though others have stepped up during his barren spell, Fulham look so much more dangerous when Mitrovic is playing well. Could the return from suspension of inspirational midfielder Joao Palhinha make the difference?

The Portuguese powerhouse's return coincides with the absence of Man Utd's own midfield general Casemiro, who's serving the first of a four-match domestic ban. Erik ten Hag's men are unbeaten in three since that jaw-dropping 7-0 humiliation at the hands of Liverpool, and Marcus rashford aside, they're yet to get back to the levels they were playing at last month, when they won the Carabao Cup.

There are no replays in the FA Cup quarter-finals, so if the scores are all level at the end of the 90, we'll go to extra time and possibly penalties.

It's the only all-Premier League tie of the round, and you can follow our guide as we explain all the ways to get a Manchester United vs Fulham live stream wherever you are – starting with how to watch the FA Cup for FREE in the UK.
