Kick-off is at 21:15 

Manchester United will be aiming to build on their impressive run in the 2020-21 English Premier League season when they take on Fulham in London on Wednesday evening. 

Fulham head into the fixture on a seven-game run without a win, following a 1-0 defeat at home to Chelsea this past weekend. The result left the Cottagers in 18th spot on the league standings and four points from safety. 

The Red Devils enter the week in top spot on the league standings, following a 0-0 draw away to defending champions Liverpool on Sunday. The result extended United's unbeaten run to 12 matches. 
 
"We didn't deserve the three points because we didn't play well enough," Solskjaer told Sky Sports following their match at Anfield. "We didn't impose ourselves on the game, especially the first half.

"We grew in the game and thought it was there to win in the second half and created two massive chances.

"We can play better than this, we know that. We can be more composed; we can have the ball more. We had to defend really often, and we gave the ball away too often. A couple of things we need to improve on."

This will be the first league meeting between the two clubs since the 2018-19 season. United beat Fulham 4-1 at Old Trafford that season before a 3-0 victory at Craven Cottage on the back of a Paul Pogba brace.
