Fulham Under-21s make their PL2 return on Friday evening, when they host Manchester United at Motspur Park (7pm KO).
Form
Fulham:
Friday's encounter will represent the young Whites' first league game since their 3-1 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday 6th November. We currently sit in sixth position, but only four points separate us with league leaders Arsenal.
Man United:
The PL2 break couldn't have come at a better time for the young Red Devils, who suffered a bruising 6-1 defeat to Manchester City at the start of November. With just the 10 points to their name, they find themselves sitting fourth from bottom as we kick off 2023.
Last Time Out
It was late heatbreak for our lads in the reverse fixture back in August. Adrion Pajaziti blasted home from range, before the hosts found an equaliser just before the break. Terry Ablade's second half strike looked to have sealed the win, but a 95th minute Omari Forsen screamer meant the points were shared.
One To Watch: Zidane Iqbal
The 19-year-old midfielder is one of Man U's most promising young players. He has only featured in three PL2 games this season so whether he starts or not is uncertain, but the youngster has already made a First Team debut in the Champions League. That appearance made him the first British-born South Asian to play for the club, and the first ever British South Asian to play in the Champions League.
