Manchester United will bid to maintain their Premier League title challenge when they travel to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham on Wednesday night. The Reds start as 4/6 favourites in the match betting, although Fulham have a decent record against United at home and can be backed at 4/1 with William Hill.
Mid-table Fulham are unbeaten in their last three matches at Craven Cottage against United and have been impressive at home lately. The Cottagers have beaten Liverpool and Bolton to nil in recent weeks as they steadily climb away from the relegation zone.
Clint Dempsey has been a key man for them of late as he has scored three goals in his last four outings, with Hills pricing him 8/1 in the first goalscorer betting. However, Fulham, who crashed out of the Europa League last week, have only won three of 20 meetings with United in the Premier League.
Eight of the last nine fixtures between Fulham and Manchester United have witnessed only one team score, with Fulham failing to score in six of them. Hills offer 17/10 for only Man Utd to score in Wednesday's match and that could be well worth a look judging by recent form.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men have the best away record in the league and have been excellent lately, winning four in a row and keeping a clean sheet in each of them. They are 21/20 to keep a clean sheet again this week and it is well worth remembering that they have conceded just three goals away from Old Trafford in the league this season.
Low scoring encounters have been a feature of their away matches, with their last six each involving under 2.5 goals. Fulham's last five matches home and away in the league have involved under 2.5 as well and under 2.5 goals in this week's match looks well worth a punt at 10/11 with William Hill.com.
United boast are unbeaten in their last nine away matches in the league and have won six of their last seven home and away. That form has seen them reignite their title battle with bitter rivals Man City and you fancy Wayne Rooney will have to maintain his recent form if they are to pip City. Rooney has scored three in his last two and he is the 10/3 favourite in the betting to score first.
Interestingly, United have conceded the highest proportion of goals in the second half of matches in the league and Hills offer 11/10 for the second half to be the highest scoring half of Wednesday's match.
United should pick up a first win in four at Craven Cottage though after their impressive 2-0 win at QPR at the weekend, with the correct score of 2-0 again available at 7/1, while the United double result can be backed at 8/5.
