Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester United's trip to Fulham in the Premier League. Leicester's victory last night over Chelsea moved the Foxes above United at the top, but three points tonight will see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side climb back to the top of the pile. Fulham are without a win in their last seven, with goals hard to come by of late. They have held Liverpool to a draw already this season at Craven Cottage, however.
