 Kick off is at 12.30 GMT and team news will follow shortly…

Referee Paul Tierney pips his whistle and Mitrovic takes the first touch!

Kick-off is five minutes away!

Can Fulham get a much-needed result against Red Devils, whom they have lost to 19 times in the Premier League? And can Solskjaer's side push back into the top four and help the Norwegian earn a full-time gig?

Stay here for updates.

Paul Pogba might be the danger man for United today: he's been involved in 11 goals (scored six, assisted five) in eight Premier League starts under Solskjaer.

Fulham, who have the worst defence in Europe's Top 5 league right now, have conceded 10 in their last four matches against United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "When we came in, we were way behind top four. So if you get the chance to take the three points and jump in, see what happens with City and Chelsea tomorrow, it’s an important game for us today."

"We have to stand up and be resilient, it will be tough today. There is no complacency. There is no secret to playing football: you have to enjoy yourself, and you need good players that are able to express themselves. Work hard, stay together. It’s simple.”

Claudio Ranieri: "We know where we are, we know it's very tough and then we need soldiers who have to fight until the end.

"We are ready to fight. I have to motivate them and give my positivity to our players. It's much better to play at home than away."

Fulham scored four goals and earned a rare three points in their last home game, but the Red Devils are on a streak of five consecutive away wins.

A glimmer of hope for Fulham...

With a win, United will climb back into the top four for the first time since the opening weekend.

They were 11 points shy of the top four when he Baby-Faced Assassin took charge in December.

Fulham appear to be going with a 4-2-3-1, with a back line of Bryan, Ream, Le Marchand and Odoi.

It's 4-3-3 for the suited and booted United, who have opted for Mata and Martial on the wings, with Lukaku leading the line.

United are unbeaten against Fulham in their last 11 encounters, winning nine and drawing three. Their last defeat at Craven Cottage came in 2009, when Danny Murphy, Bobby Zamora and Damien Duff scored in a 3-0 victory that put Fulham in ninth place.

In Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 10 games at the helm of Manchester United, he has managed nine wins and a Fergie-time-coneback draw against Burnley.

United's fortunes stand in stark contrast to Fulham, who have lost five of their last six in all competitions, and who go inot this one five points shy of safety.
