Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Manchester United and Fulham at Old Trafford!
United are looking to try and secure their second-place finish in the Premier League before the end of the season and can do that with a win today. They've lost their previous two matches against Leicester City and Liverpool though, with both defeats coming at Old Trafford. Fulham's relegation has already been confirmed and they're on an eight-match winless run in the league (D1 L7), with their last win coming against Liverpool at the start of March.
MANCHESTER UNITED STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Axel Tuanzebe, Luke Shaw; Scott McTominay, Fred; Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba; Edinson Cavani.
MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Alex Telles, Amad Diallo, Donny van de Beek, Juan Mata, Dean Henderson, Marcus Rashford, Brandon Williams, Nemanja Matic, Eric Bailly.
FULHAM STARTING XI (3-4-2-1): Alphonse Areola; Tim Ream, Tosin Adarabioyo, Joe Bryan; Fabio Carvalho, Harrison Reed, Mario Lemina, Bobby De Cordova-Reid; Ademola Lookman, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa; Ivan Cavaleiro.
FULHAM SUBS: Michael Hector, Marek Rodak, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ola Aina, Joachim Andersen, Kenny Tete, Josh Maja, Denis Odoi, Josh Onomah.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Solskjaer will be happy with his side's reaction to their last two home results and they've looked dangerous going forward, so he'll be hoping for more of the same after the break. As for Fulham, they've had a couple of good chances, but their sloppiness at the back could've cost them a lot more. Parker will want to see a big improvement at the back in the second half.
That's all for today, goodbye!
United still haven't secured second place in the league after letting their lead slip and they finish their season with a trip to Wolves on Sunday. Fulham's winless run goes on, but they end a run of three losses. Their season finishes at home to Newcastle United.
