Can Fulham Stop Manchester United?



It is FA Cup weekend and tomorrow sees the quarter finals. Manchester United travel down to London to play Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Van Der Sar will be rested so either Kuszczak or Foster will be brought in to replace him, my money is on Foster- his confidence must be high because of the Carling Cup final win last Sunday.

There are only five defenders in the Man United squad (according to BBC sport)- Evra, O'Shea, Evans, Ferdinand and Vidic. Maybe Vidic or Ferdinand will be rested.

In midfield I would expect players such as Nani, Gibson, Fletcher and Giggs to play. Possibly Ronaldo but he might need a rest.

Rooney might continue building up his fitness alongside Tevez or Welbeck.

Fulham will be without their defender Baird after his suffered an injury against Arsenal.

Fulham are expected to start with Johnson and Zamora up front.

Manchester United are still in all competitions- Premier League (still at the top), Champion's League and FA Cup.

Fulham have never won the FA Cup so it is a massive match for the relegation strugglers.

Fulham haven't been that good on the road this season but they have one of the best home records alongside Manchester United, that will make it a fascinating match.

Fulham: Schwarzer, Pantsil, Stoor, Hangeland, Hughes, Konchesky, Davies, Etuhu, Dacourt, Murphy, Gera, Dempsey, Johnson, Zamora, Zuberbuhler, Kallio, Nevland, Kamara, Gray, Barnes.

Man United: Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Ronaldo, Carrick, Scholes, Gibson, Fletcher, Park, Giggs, Anderson, Nani, Rooney, Berbatov, Tevez, Welbeck.
