Manchester United will face Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round at Old Trafford on Sunday, but the Cottagers might have the edge over the struggling holders.
Despite their dramatic 2-1 win over Leicester City in the previous round, United have been inconsistent in the Premier League, sitting 14th in the table. Their defensive frailties were exposed even in their recent 3-2 win against Ipswich Town. While Harry Maguire has been their savior in crucial moments, their overall form remains shaky.
On the other hand, Fulham have been in fine form, winning four of their last five matches across all competitions. Their latest triumph—a 2-1 victory over Wolves—showcased their attacking threat, with Rodrigo Muniz leading the charge. Marco Silva’s men have also been strong on the road, scoring at least twice in each of their last seven away games.
History slightly favors United, who have won their last 14 FA Cup fifth-round ties. However, Fulham’s attacking momentum, combined with United’s inconsistent performances, makes this a potential upset.
