Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side managed a 2-1 win at Craven Cottage against Fulham last time out, with goals from Edinson Cavani and Paul Pogba sealing yet another comeback win.

Chris Wilder's men are at the bottom of the Premier League table and are 12 points off safety, managing only a solitary win in 19 games.
