Ace Football previews the match between the Red Devils and the Cottagers who will meet in the Premier League’s 37th round this Tuesday. Can Manchester United finally secure 2nd place in the table?

The top end of the table meets the bottom end as Manchester United prepare to face off against Fulham who are getting relegated from the Premier League. Placed 2nd in the table, Manchester United have amassed 70 points after 36 matches. With only 27 points, Fulham are ranked in 18th place with as many matches as the home side.

Four straight defeats have put a serious dampener on the mood around Fulham. They could be in for another rout against Manchester United.

Manchester United continue to look somewhat blunt

The Red Devils go into this encounter on the back of some poor performances in the league. In their last 3 matches, Manchester United claimed a 3-1 win against Aston Villa, followed by a 2-1 defeat against Leicester. Their most recent match brought a 4-2 defeat against Liverpool.

On the other hand, The Red Devils have been majestic at home with 4 wins from their last 6 matches since April. It looks like another victory at Old Trafford is likely coming this Tuesday.

Trouble looms for Fulham

Following a string of disappointments in the league Fulham will certainly be hoping to do better this week. In their previous 3 matches, Fulham were hammered by Chelsea in a 2-0 defeat and went on to a 2-0 defeat against Burnley. Their latest match served up a 3-1 defeat against Southampton.

With a string of poor on the road performances this season – 1 win and 3 defeats in the last 6 matches, Fulham will be looking to avoid getting hammered on Tuesday.
