10 min: United look dangerous for the first time â Tielemans whips in a decent ball to the front post and Bruno Fernandes is there for the header ⦠and it leads to a corner.
8 min: King is enjoying himself down the right for Fulham, finding space.
7 min: United are forced to retreat as Fulham hold a solid defensive shape ⦠Lammens goes long before Fulham build a promising attack ⦠but IwobiâÂÂs cross finds the United keeper.
5 min: Time for United to knock it about ⦠but Tielemans is wayward, sending the ball out for a Fulham throw.
4 min: Fulham continue to pass it around comfortably. Robinson finds GarcÃÂa on the edge of the area ⦠and he drags his effort wide. ItâÂÂs been a neat start by Fulham.
3 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.
1 min: Leno takes his time with a goalkick before going long, down the right-hand side.
Manchester United are rocking their all-blue number. They kick things off.
Craven Cottage in the sun: where would you rather be?
Andy Flintoff (not that one) writes:
If Fulham avoid defeat today, then Spurs would be bottom. Would it then be time to sound the crisis klaxon?
There should probably be a klaxon for when Spurs arenâÂÂt in crisis.
We got a thriller the last time these two met:

Yes, please donâÂÂt let it be Cunha up front, he always scores against us.
Well, have a look at this: CunhaâÂÂs got four goals in six league games against Fulham.
Joshua Keeling writes in:
Please please please let it be Mbeumo up front, not Cunha. Playing Cunha up front just hasnâÂÂt worked so far this season.
Well itâÂÂs certainly not Benjamin Sesko. HeâÂÂs still waiting for his first league start this season and missing today due to injury.
Fulham 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.
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Affengruber, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Charles, King, Bobb, Gonzalo, Iwobi
Subs: Lecomte, Andersen, Sessegnon, Larsson, Manuel ÃÂngel, Smith Rowe, Palacios, Kevin, Muniz
Manchester United: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, MartÃÂnez, Shaw, Tielemans, Mainoo, Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford, Cunha
Subs: Darlow, Dorgu, Mazraoui, Yoro, Andrey Santos, Baleba, Mount, Lacey, Zirkzee
WeâÂÂre four league games in and IâÂÂm getting spammy emails about how Michael Carrick is 5/2 to get sacked before Christmas. ItâÂÂs all a bit silly but a reminder of how intense his position is, the game changing now he doesnâÂÂt 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. LetâÂÂs get stuck into it: kick-offâÂÂs at 4.30pm BST.
