Ten Hag hopes Garnacho makes speedy recovery as Man Utd's bid to end season with more silverware

Marco Silva’s Fulham will travel to Old Trafford on Sunday looking to cause an upset in the FA Cup and reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2002.

The South London side are currently 9th in the Premier League and with no threat of relegation, the FA Cup remains the one chance of glory for the Cottagers.

Manchester United only won the Carabao Cup a few weeks ago but the games are coming thick and fast having beaten Real Betis last week to qualify for the Europa League quarter-finals.

With those games coming in mid-April alongside league games against the likes of Brentford, Newcastle and Everton, Erik ten Hag may find it difficult to balance his squad.

The Dutchman has rarely rotated many members of the squad and it will likely be the same on Sunday as he looks to win a cup treble in his debut season in England.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Manchester United vs Fulham?

The match will kick off at 4.30pm GMT on Sunday 19 March.

How can I watch Manchester United vs Fulham and is there a live stream?

It will be shown live on ITV, with coverage starting at 3.45pm. If you are a subscriber, you can watch online or on the ITVX App.

Predicted line-ups

Manchester United: de Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Fred, Sabitzer, Fernandes; Rashford, Sancho, Weghorst

Fulham: Leno; Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson; Reed, Lukic; Reid, Pereira, Solomon; Mitrovic

Odds

Manchester United: 2/5

Draw: 7/2

Fulham: 11/2

Prediction

Fulham have been one of the Premier League’s surprise packages this year, with Marco Silva’s team currently in 9th in the Premier League and on the verge of European football. United meanwhile will want to carry on the team’s renaissance under Erik ten Hag, with the potential to be in the second semi-final of the season already after winning the Carabao Cup in February. Both teams have suffered a dip in their recent form, although United will be the more confident of the two sides going into the game. Expect a frantic game without Casemiro, but the type of game that United have thrived on at points this season. Manchester United 2-1 Fulham
