Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is feeling the heat as his team prepares to face Fulham in a crucial Premier League match. The Red Devils suffered a disappointing Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Newcastle, marking their worst start to a season in 61 years. However, they will be expected to bounce back against a struggling Fulham side. Read on for all the details on how to stream the game, the TV channel, and the team news.
What's at stake?
After their recent Cup defeat, Manchester United will be looking to turn their fortunes around. They have been inconsistent this season, with five wins and five defeats in the league. Fulham, on the other hand, have won three, drawn three, and lost four. Both teams have conceded 16 goals, but United have scored two more than their opponents.
Form guide
Fulham's form has been up and down in recent weeks. They have won two of their last six league matches, but also suffered losses to Chelsea and Tottenham. Manchester United lost their Carabao Cup tie against Newcastle, following a defeat to Manchester City. However, they had won three consecutive games prior to that.
Team news
Fulham will be without several key players for the clash, including Issa Diop, Kenny Tete, and Adama Traore. Manchester United will be missing Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, and Luke Shaw. There is no return date yet for Jadon Sancho.

Key players
Fulham's Joao Palhinha has been a standout performer in midfield, and is also the team's top goalscorer with two league goals. Manchester United will be relying on Christian Eriksen to dictate play and make an impact with his passing ability. The performance of these two players could be crucial in determining the outcome of the match.
What the managers are saying
Marco Silva has been encouraged by the progress he has seen from his Fulham team. He emphasized the importance of taking all competitions seriously and making steps forward. Erik ten Hag, despite the setbacks his team has faced, remains confident and committed to turning their poor form around.
Prediction
Given Manchester United's recent defeats, they will be eager to bounce back and secure a victory. Both teams have struggled to score goals, so it could come down to who is more clinical on the day. We predict a narrow 2-1 win for Manchester United.
