Defending FA Cup champions Manchester United continue their title defense at Old Trafford against an in-form Fulham side on Sunday in a high-stakes fifth-round encounter.

United, fresh off a dramatic 3-2 Premier League win over Ipswich, seek another cup victory. Fulham, buoyed by four wins in five, arrive confident after a 2-1 triumph over Wolves.

🔴Man United Look to Keep FA Cup Hopes Alive | Home Win = 2.53💵

United have a formidable FA Cup record, winning their last 14 fifth-round ties. Despite inconsistent league form, the Red Devils have shown resilience in cup competitions.

With injuries piling up, Ruben Amorim’s side will rely on match-winners like Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund to break down Fulham’s sturdy defense and extend their FA Cup run.

🤍Fulham Aim to Upset Holders | Away Win = 3.02💵

Marco Silva’s side have impressed on the road, winning their last four away games. The Cottagers seek their first FA Cup trophy ever, with a best finish as runners-up in 1975.

To do that, however, they will have to overcome a United side they’ve lost twice to this season in the league. With United’s defensive frailties, Fulham will look to exploit counter-attacks and maintain their scoring streak.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

United will be without Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount due to injuries, while Patrick Dorgu is suspended. Mazraoui is expected to start, with Fernandes and Hojlund leading the attack.

Fulham miss Emile Smith Rowe and Reiss Nelson, while Sasa Lukic is available despite a league suspension. Muniz’s form makes him a key figure, supported by former United man Andreas Pereira.
