Man Utd will take on Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday, 2 March for a place in the quarter-finals of this season's FA Cup.
As the holders of the cup, the home team will be desperate for the win on Sunday, particularly as it remains their best opportunity to win some silverware this season.
Fulham, meanwhile, are chasing their first-ever major trophy and given the form of Man Utd this season, they will see this match as a golden opportunity.

Man Utd vs Fulham prediction: The Reds to secure a hat-trick of 1-0 wins over Fulham
Key Stats
- Man Utd have beaten 1-0 twice already this season.
- Three of the last four matches between Man Utd and Fulham have produced fewer than two goals.
- Fulham have failed to score in three of their last four matches against Man Utd.
Correct score prediction: Man Utd 1-0 Fulham
This is a scoreline that Man Utd have enjoyed against Fulham in recent times and the fact that this is a high-stakes match only furthers the argument or a cagey affair with few goals. Say what you want about this Man Utd squad but they have proven to be an excellent cup team over the past two years and that should see them get over the line on Sunday.

- HOME: 7/5 (2.40) – 41.7%
- DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%
- AWAY: 17/10 (2.70) – 37%

Man Utd preview: Trudging along game by game
It may not feel like it, but Man Utd have actually won five of their last eight matches in all competitions but things still look rather disjointed on the pitch while off it, things go from bad to worse. Their dogged win with ten men against Ipswich on Thursday night could inspire some much-needed confidence ahead of a big couple of weeks in the cup competitions.
Predicted lineup: Onana (GK), Dalot, Yoro, Maguire, De Ligt, Mazraoui, Fernandes, Ugarte, Garnacho, Zirkzee, Hojlund

Fulham preview: Out for revenge
Fulham will be dumbfounded that they have taken zero points from their matches against Man Utd this season, with the Cottagers well worth a point in both previous fixtures. Marco Silva has done an excellent job at Craven Cottage and it would be fitting if he could take them to Wembley. A win here and they'll just be one game away.
Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson, Lukic, Berge, Traore, Pereira, Iwobi, Muniz

Player to watch: Joshua Zirkzee
Joshua Zirkzee has been improving week on week for Man Utd over the past couple of months but he is still lacking in the goalscoring department. The Dutch forward has lost his place in the national team as a result of his barren spell in front of goal but he remains United's most likely route to a goal against Fulham on Sunday.
