DDG Keeps Delivering
United's last 5 league games haven't been swashbuckling, but efficient. David De Gea has been called upon to keep crucial clean sheets and that may be the difference again here with Fulham competitive at home.
Manchester United have been relentless since Solskjaer took the reigns and it’s almost unthinkable that their momentum will end at Craven Cottage. Fulham are 7 points from safety with a terrible goal difference and I’m backing a 1-0 away victory at best odds of 17/2 with Bet365.
That has been the scoreline in both of United’s last two away days, as the resurgent Red Devils ground out victories at Spurs and Leicester.
I think it will be close again here for a couple of reasons. Ranieri’s side have at least held their own at home since late November (W3 D2 L2). Secondly, Man Utd may well have one eye on Tuesday’s Champions League clash with PSG.
If they rest players, or show any complacency, then this one could be tougher than expected. But David De Gea is a supreme last line of defence and a narrow victory for the form team has to be the recommended bet when all said and done.
