García fails to connect properly inside the area again, Berge forces Lammens to make a good save low to his right, and Bobb fires wide not long after a smart turn. 1m ago11.58 EDT28 min: Iwobi picks up a long ball and crosses from the left, and King is at the far post for a poking half-volley … but he can’t get enough power on it and Lammens palms it away. 4m ago11.56 EDT25 min: Fernandes hits the post! Cunha outmuscles Affengruber inside the area, cuts back for Fernandes, who can only find the left post. United have suddenly found some energy, some intensity after a lethargic start. 5m ago11.54 EDT24 min: Mainoo finds the ball in that left pocket by the edge of the area where he likes to shoot from – but he can’t find enough room for an effort. Dalot eventually tries his luck, but Leno doesn’t need to stress about it. 7m ago11.53 EDT22 min: Fulham’s fluid front four – Iwobi, King, Bobb and García – are combining well. 9m ago11.51 EDT21 min: Mbeumo breaks into the area and crosses for Rashford … but he can’t keep his header down. 10m ago11.50 EDT19 min: Bobb has room on the right for Fulham, and the ball soon finds the lively King, who drives into the area and fires over the bar. He’s been the best player on the park so far. 12m ago11.48 EDT18 min: Fuham build nicely from the back, Iwobi breaks free on the left and plays in García … but he fluffs his first-time effort inside the area, the ball deflecting well wide of the goal. 14m ago11.46 EDT16 min: Rashford gets United moving forward … until they recycle and wheel it around at the back. 15m ago11.45 EDT15 min: King holds the ball up on the right wing and wins a corner for Fulham – Bobb’s delivery is poor. 16m ago11.43 EDT13 min: All a bit quiet so far, apart from Martínez’s rocket. 18m ago11.42 EDT10 min: Martínez lets fly from outside the area … it’s some effort and some save, too. Leno leaps to his left and the centre-back’s piledriver doesn’t find the top corner. 20m ago11.40 EDT10 min: United look dangerous for the first time – Tielemans whips in a decent ball to the front post and Bruno Fernandes is there for the header … and it leads to a corner. Updated at 11.41 EDT21m ago11.38 EDT8 min: King is enjoying himself down the right for Fulham, finding space. 22m ago11.37 EDT7 min: United are forced to retreat as Fulham hold a solid defensive shape … Lammens goes long before Fulham build a promising attack … but Iwobi’s cross finds the United keeper. 24m ago11.35 EDT5 min: Time for United to knock it about … but Tielemans is wayward, sending the ball out for a Fulham throw. 25m ago11.34 EDT4 min: Fulham continue to pass it around comfortably. Robinson finds García on the edge of the area … and he drags his effort wide. It’s been a neat start by Fulham. 26m ago11.33 EDT3 min: King drops deep for Fulham as the hosts wheel it around at the back. The teenager goes on a long dribble through midfield … and keeps it. 29m ago11.31 EDT1 min: Leno takes his time with a goalkick before going long, down the right-hand side. 30m ago11.30 EDTPeeeep!Manchester United are rocking their all-blue number. They kick things off.

Would it then be time to sound the crisis klaxon? There should probably be a klaxon for when Spurs aren’t in crisis. 45m ago11.15 EDTWe got a thriller the last time these two met: 53m ago11.07 EDTHere’s how we’re looking after those 2pm BST games. 1h ago10.49 EDTRichard Hirst writes in: Well, have a look at this: Cunha’s got four goals in six league games against Fulham. 1h ago10.38 EDTJoshua Keeling writes in: Well it’s certainly not Benjamin Sesko. He’s still waiting for his first league start this season and missing today due to injury. Updated at 11.22 EDT1h ago10.32 EDTFulham are unchanged from the side that drew at Anfield while United make one tweak from their derby loss against Manchester City: Luke Shaw replaces Patrick Dorgu. 2h ago10.27 EDTThe teamsFulham: Leno, Castagne, Affengruber, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Charles, King, Bobb, Gonzalo, Iwobi Subs: Lecomte, Andersen, Sessegnon, Larsson, Manuel Ángel, Smith Rowe, Palacios, Kevin, Muniz Manchester United: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martínez, Shaw, Tielemans, Mainoo, Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford, Cunha Subs: Darlow, Dorgu, Mazraoui, Yoro, Andrey Santos, Baleba, Mount, Lacey, Zirkzee 2h ago10.05 EDTPreambleWe’re four league games in and I’m getting spammy emails about how Michael Carrick is 5/2 to get sacked before Christmas. It’s all a bit silly but a reminder of how intense his position is, the game changing now he doesn’t have that interim tag. So how does a visit to Craven Cottage sound? On the one hand, Fulham are bottom of the league, with Alvaro Arbeloa feeling some heat, too. On the other, slip up here and my inbox will probably get a whole lot louder. Let’s get stuck into it: kick-off’s at 4.30pm BST.
