Big game, pressure's on! Absolutely no clue what the line up will be! But my prediction is....

De Gea
Smalling Rio Evans Evra
Valencia Carrick Scholes Young

I'd take a 1-0, but wouldn't it be great to see the goal difference advantage wiped out....

DB21

5-0 United. At least. After what we did to them at Craven Cottage, I would expect no less.

Sgt Pepper 64

Utd to pretty much wrap the title up

Cantona's Collars

We need to be ruthless against teams such as Fulham etc,I'd take a 3 nil win & no injuries.

Are you forgetting the fact that Utd have to play City at the Etihaad? League is far from over. Utd in the driving seat but assuming City maintain their narrow goal difference advantage the league is still in their own hands.

this won't wrap the title up.

City are still within striking distance thanks to that Eastlands game to come.

i think it'll be a slow procession to the title for Utd, as i think City will drop more points, but this isn't the game that will decide it by any means.

that being said...4-0 Utd. the way Fulham play suits Utd down to the ground as Utd will probably be let play. this could be a mauling.

cournioni

2-1 to Fulham.

Too much optimism on here.

WIZE

I dont see United Winning this evening . Going for a 2-2

I hope im wrong

Just to add a Red Devil will be sent off this evening

Owryan

Hopefully this is a chance to make up the goal difference

GavRedKing

United at a canter, 3-0.

Fulham are notoriusly bad away from home and Utd have the title in their sights.

Hank Scorpio

United to win by 2 goals

parc

perfect attitude for united to slip up (this will be easy attitude)...IF it was any other time than the run in, that is...so it should be a win

adox

United should win comfortably.

MickySticks

Can't see anything other than a comfortable win for United here. 3-0.

I've said it time and time again, 25 years in charge the man is a master.

United after xmas are a different animal in the league, I think fergie does this on spite he wants to be there or there about come xmas with the view to go gung ho after that.

I hope for a 3-0 win and wipe out the goal difference which should play a pivotal part in the league.

3 points first and foremost. Goal difference impact would be a nice bonus.

Most people predict a comfortable win most likely because it should be a comfortable win.

Complacency from posters does not mean there will be complacency from the team.

parc

Yeah hopefully a good 3+ -0 will for utd. No messing around this time of year

IvySlayer

An absolute gorgeous day out there, followed by Monday footie, I like life

smokedeels

Fulham are very hard to anticipate this year, but since they've little to play for at this stage of the season I can see United winning by a couple of goals.

Also, transfer muppet hat on, I hope SAF is blown away by Moussa Dembele and signs him this summer.

another stroll for united imo.

The_Kew_Tour

3-1 to United.

Could be good game this.

daveyboy_1ie

Anything less than a United win would be a big setback imo. I can't see any other result, but football is a funny old game.

United have a chance to make inroads into their goal difference deficit however first things first is getting those three points.

Lord TSC

Put a fiver on Rooney to score two or more goals at 10/3. Maybe not a big bet to many, but its my first online so fingers crossed...

Jimmy Iovine

I'll be hoping for 5 goals from Young tonight. Hopefully Valencia or Rooney don't set any of them up.

Luap

If Rooney can get a brace here, I've a feeling he might catch RVP.

Would rather see Scholes in there with Carrick but other than that, I like that team.

Happy with the side that's out. 2-0 win but hopefully United can bag a few more and keep the clean sheet.

Good to have Berbatov back!

Neville doing some great analysis on SS, never get bored of it

A half an hour to a night kick off and it's still bright? It's a bit weird.

MagicMarker

As usual superb analysis from Neville.

great omelette recipe on sopcast channel 106723. tried it and it's unreal. must dash out for something to go with the omelette.

chupacabra

Sitting in JFK airport in a small "beach" style bar trying to get them to switch to ESPN 2 so I can see the game. Unfortunately for me the terminal is full of boston people and the Red Sox are currently playing. :mad: Time to break out a couple of George Washingtons to change the barmans mind.
