Fulham prepare to entertain Manchester United at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 11 of the 31 previous games, with the Cottagers winning just 9.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in February 2007, with Man. Utd. inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Cottagers in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides
Fulham's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Cottagers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Man. Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. Those games have seen the Red Devils pummel 12 goals, and let in 5.
Fulham are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 19 points from their 27 games thus far. Man. Utd. sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 61 points from their 27 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Cottagers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Red Devils come away with an easy victory. Away win
