Fulham and Man Utd will go head-to-head at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Fulham and Man Utd will go head-to-head at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Alvaro Arbeloa's side are winless in the top-flight so far this season, suffering defeat in each of their first three games before claiming a 0-0 draw at Anfield against Liverpool last time out. Michael Carrick's side are in a rut and have won just once in the Premier League this season, and were controversially beaten by Man City in their last outing in the Premier League.

Both sides are dealing with some injury issues heading into the game, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expects the teams to line up as a result.

The Cottagers will be without captain Tom Cairney for the clash on Sunday, with the midfielder suffering with a knee injury.

Kenny Tete also remains sidelined with a concussion, but there is hope that defender Ryan Sessegnon could be available for selection following a groin problem, after he returned to training this week.

Fulham Injuries

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Arbeloa shared an update on his squad ahead of the game.

> "Tom [Cairney] is still recovering. Tete won't be available, after the ball hit him in the Anfield game.

> “We need to see if Sess is available for Sunday. I think he will be training with us today, and we will have to make a decision later.”

Man Utd are hopeful that Luke Shaw could be available after missing the last three games in all competitions with some muscle fatigue.

Carlos Baleba could be available to make the matchday squad for the first time since joining the club in a £70m deal from Brighton, but Amad, Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs De Ligt, and Tom Heaton remain sidelined due to injury. Patrick Dorgu is also fit to play, having been rested in the midweek defeat against Brighton.

Man Utd Injuries

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Carrick shared an update on his squad ahead of the game.

> "There is a chance on both [Shaw and Baleba]really. Not totally 100 per cent yet.

> "It is really short term [with Luke], to be honest, but we're just working towards the game. So we'll see how he is."

Manchester United youngster JJ Gabriel has arrived in Barcelona for talks, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.
