Fulham
Fulham Boss Jean Tigana is likely to make just one change to the side
that drew 0-0 with Charlton on Christmas Day for the game against Manchester United.
Fulham midfielder Lee Clark limped off after ten minutes of that game
and is a major doubt for Sunday's game. Luis Boa Morte will retain his
place dispite the controversy surrounding him and how referees are treating
him.
Long term injury Steve Marlet played 50 mins in a reserve game on Thursday
afternoon but it is thought unlikely that he will figure in the United
game and will remain a spectator along with Chris Coleman.
Fulham (from):
Edwin van der Sar(G),
Steve Finnan(D), Andy Melville(D), Alain Goma(D), Rufus Brevett(D),

Bjarne Goldbaek(M), Luis Boa Morte(A/M).
Manchester United
United came through the Boxing Day match against Everton without any new
injuries.
David Beckham will be hoping to start Sunday's clash, with Fulham, after
his pivotal role in the Everton game. However Alex Ferguson has already
hinted he is reluctant to change a winning side and that will mean Beckham
could remain on the subs bench.
Ryan Giggs started his first game since mid-November in the Everton game,
scoreing the first goal and providing the second for Ruud van Nistelrooy.
He is likely to keep his place in the team and Paul Scholes should also
start now that his ban is completed.
Manchester United (from):
Fabien Barthez(G);
Phil Neville(D), Gary Neville(D), Laurent Blanc(D), Mikael Silvestre(D);
Paul Scholes(M), David Beckham(M), Roy Keane(M), Juan Veron(M), Ryan Giggs(M);
Ruud Van Nistelrooy(A), Ole Gunnar Solskjaer(A).
