Man United - Fulham prediction: Old Trafford no longer has pressure

With Chelsea's extremely low form, Newcastle being able to win 3 points right at Stamford Bridge in round 38 is a possibility. Man United need to beat Fulham at Old Trafford to maintain 3rd place. If they draw with the London team and Newcastle against Chelsea, the "Red Devils" and "Magpies" will have the same points but M.U will fall to 4th place due to the difference in the difference in the difference in goal difference between the two teams.

The most important task, it can be said, is Erik ten Hag's only in his first season in charge of Manchester United, a Champions League ticket. In the end, the Dutch strategist completed it 1 round earlier.

Just 1 point against Chelsea in the midweek's make-up match of round 32 was enough for the "Red Devils" to return to the Champions League, but they crushed their opponents 4-1 at home. If mentioning the goal for the rest of the season, maintaining 3rd place is not as important as the FA Cup final next week, when Man United has the task of preventing Man City from winning a domestic double, which could be the premise for the treble.

Man City just became the second team in Premier League history to win the championship for 3 consecutive seasons. Up to now, only Man United has won the treble in the foggy country, they do not want the team to equal that record and be an unpopular "neighbor".

The positivity is still seen in the way Ten Hag revives the club after each defeat. After two disappointing results against Brighton and West Ham, Manchester United have returned with 3 consecutive victories against Wolves, Bournemouth and Chelsea.

Home form is a key factor in the success of Marcus Rashford and his teammates this season. In the 18 matches played at Old Trafford, The Red Devils have won 45/54 maximum points. In particular, they have only conceded 9 goals in this streak (0.5 goals conceded/match). This is the best defensive record for a home team in a Premier League season.

The Champions League title has been mentioned in the ears, but at this time, the FA Cup final is very close for the "Red Devils". Maybe still with the goal of winning, Ten Hag will not take the risk to bring the main squad onto the field, as Man City did against Chelsea. There needs to be more experimentation and tactical breakthroughs from Ten Hag, Man United fans hope to overthrow Man City at Wembley next week.

For Fulham, the goal set from the beginning of the season is to stay in the league. Regardless of the result in the match at Old Trafford, Marco Silva's team will finish 10th in the Premier League this season. This is the first time since 2011-12 that The Cottagers have finished in the Premier League in such a high position. In the season 11 years ago, the London team finished in 9th place.

Fulham's away form is quite impressive. They have won 23 points from 18 away games, just four fewer than M.U have had to leave Old Trafford each time. Fulham's task now is to stabilize the squad and wait for a summer of personnel changes to aim for a ticket to the European Cup next season.

Manchester United's expected lineup:

De Gea; Dalot, Maguire, Lindelof, Malacia; Fernandes, Casemiro, McTominay; Sancho, Martial, Rashford

Fulham's expected lineup:

Leno; Tete, Adarabioyo, Diop, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; Wilson, Cairney, Willian; Mitrovic
