Premier League: Fulham vs Manchester United Odds and Betting Preview

FULHAM, UK – Manchester United’s busy festive period continues with a trip to Craven Cottage to take on Martin Jol’s Fulham this Wednesday evening. United are the 8/11 favourites for the contest with Bet365. Fulham are 9/2 to take all three points with Victor Chandler whilst the draw is a 13/5 chance at Paddy Power.

Manchester United head to London this Wednesday looking to keep up the pressure on neighbours Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. The Red Devils currently trail Roberto Mancini’s men by only two points and are on a great run of form, taking nineteen of a possible twenty one points since their harrowing derby defeat. After somewhat struggling on their travels last season, Sir Alex Ferguson’s men currently hold the league’s best away record, with six wins and two draws from their eight fixtures away from Old Trafford so far this season and will be expected to come away with another three points this evening. United are still without Nemanja Vidic, Tom Cleverley, Anderson, Darren Fletcher, Rafael and Michael Owen through injury but should be boosted by the earlier than expected return of Javier Hernandez.

Fulham have enjoyed a solid start to Martin Jol’s debut campaign, with the Whites currently lying eleventh in the league standing with eighteen points from the opening sixteen fixtures. The Cottagers secured an important 2-0 victory over Bolton last weekend, with big money summer signing Bran Ruiz getting on the score sheet in an impressive performance. The Costa Rican international has somewhat struggled since joining the club on transfer deadline day and Fulham will be hoping for a major improvement from Ruiz in the second half of the season. Fulham have a good recent record against United, with the reigning champions coming away with just a solitary point from their last three visits to the Cottage.

In the correct score market, 1-0 to Man Utd is the favoured result at 6/1 with Bet365 whilst 2-1 to the visitors is a 15/2 chance with Coral. Fulham are 12/1 with William Hill to win the match by a goal to nil whilst 2-1 to the hosts is a 16/1 shot at Boylesports. Coral offer a best-priced 13/2 on the 1-1 draw whilst a scoreless affair is a 10/1 chance at SkyBet.

Man Utd's last six away league fixtures have all contained less than three goals and under 2.5 goals again this evening is 10/11 with Stan James. Punters expecting a high scoring game can back over 2.5 goals at evens with Paddy Power or over 3.5 goals at 5/2 with SkyBet. Ladbrokes are 11/4 on less than two goals being scored in the contest.

Man Utd/Man Utd is the 17/10 favourite in the Half-Time/Full-Time market at Stan James whilst Draw/Man Utd is a 7/2 chance with Paddy Power. Fulham/Fulham is a 10/1 shot in the market with Boylesports whilst Draw/Draw is a 5/1 chance at Betfred. Man Utd/Fulham is a 60/1 longshot at Coral.

Wayne Rooney, who leads the club’s scoring charts with twelve league goals so far this season, is the 4/1 favourite to break the deadlock with Betfred. Danny Welbeck is an 11/2 shot in the market with Bet365 whilst Ashley Young is a 9/1 chance with Ladbrokes. Fulham top scorer Clint Dempsey is the home side’s favourite to grab the opener at 10/1 with Bet365 whilst Bran Ruiz is a 12/1 shot in the market at Coral.
