Written By: Kevin Mac, , Match Preview

MANCHESTER UNITED have lost two in a row at Old Trafford but it would be a huge surprise if relegated Fulham made it a hat-trick of defeats in this Premier League dead rubber.

Leicester and Liverpool have both won at the Theatre of Dreams in the last week, with the Foxes helping me land a full house of tips before more bets came up in Thursday's five-goal thriller.

But those matches came within just two days of each other, forcing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to rotate his squad, so I wouldn't say it's a big slump in form for the Red Devils.

With second place more or less in the bag, it's all about next Wednesday's Europa League Final for United  so I can see Solskjaer fielding a strong team here before resting players for Sunday's final league game with Wolves.

For Fulham boss Scott Parker it's all about looking ahead to next season as he plots another quickfire return from the Championship.

The Cottagers have lost seven of their last eight games, drawing the other, so fans will just be desperate for this campaign to end.

How the bookies view it

Fulham are as big as 17/2 for a shock Old Trafford win while Manchester United's best price is a measly 39/100 at Novibet and the stalemate 9/2 at VBet.

Recent head to head

Fulham have a dismal record against United and haven't beaten them in the last 13 meetings. Eleven of those games have ended in wins for the Red Devils, including a 2-1 victory at Craven Cottage earlier this season (below).

Players to watch

Bruno Fernandes has sparked back to life for United, netting four times in his last six appearances. The playmaker is a threat from penalties and set-pieces so looks good value at 21/20 with TonyBet for anytime scorer.

Fulham's best chance for a goal could be from a set-piece so their stoppers might be worth backing for long-odds punters. Tosin Adarabioyo is 30/1 with Paddy Power for anytime scorer while Joachim Andersen's best price is 28/1 at VBet.

Anything else catch the eye?

Fulham have struggled for goals, netting just four times in their last 11 games, so a United win to nil appeals at 5/4 with TonyBet. A clean sheet on its own for United is also good value at 11/10 with the same firm, especially for accumulators.

I can see Solskjaer's side killing Fulham off early so try backing United to be winning at half-time and full-time, which pays 11/10 at SportNation.
