Manchester United are without a Premier League title in ten consecutive seasons. This season, with three wins in a row, they secured the Champions League one round before the end of the season. They are in 3rd place with 72 points from 37 matches - two points from the 4th-placed Newcastle.
This season, Manchester really struggled on the road (at least by their standards) and won just 37.5% of their points away from home.
Fulham constantly traveled between Premier League and Championship in the previous five seasons. But this season, they easily secured survival. In fact, they were close to securing Europe next season. Ultimately, they will be just a few points away from securing Europa Conference League.
Manchester United vs Fulham pick: Over 2.5 goals
Manchester are a strong home team this season, scoring 34 goals in 18 home Premier League matches. They have been very efficient at home and have scored at least two goals in 21 of the previous 24 games in all competitions.
Fulham were without their top goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrović due to a eight-game suspension. He was back for the previous two games and had already scored three goals.
Fulham were 24 times over 2.5 goals in 37 rounds so far. They are one of the teams which can both score and concede a lot (54 scored and 51 conceded goals).
These teams played two h2h games this season, and we saw at least three goals in both. Additionally, we have seen three or more goals in seven of the previous eight h2h games.

Manchester United team news
After a 4:1 over Chelsea, coach Erik ten Haf spoke to the media about the next season. He said he doesn't have much patience, and if they want to challenge for the title next season, the club has to bring in better players. He also said Manchester Utd had a solid season and thinks the objective goal (for this squad) is to finish in the top four, and they've done it.
Anthony suffered an injury after only 29 minutes in the previous match and will most likely miss the Fulham game.
The team's best defender, or at least one of the best, Lisandro Martinez, will miss the game with a foot injury.
A few players should also miss the game with injuries: Marcel Sabitzer, Phil Jones, Tom Heaton, and Donny van de Beek. Also, Mason Greenwood is dealing with personal problems and will miss the game.
