Preview: Manchester United vs. Fulham

Sports Mole previews the match between Manchester United and Fulham in the Premier League.

Manchester United host Fulham on Sunday hoping to keep pace with their rivals in the race for a top-four position in the Premier League table.

With Tottenham Hotspur facing Everton in the other league fixture on Sunday, David Moyes's outfit can cut the gap with three points against Fulham.

Defender Nemanja Vidic is available after suspension, while Phil Jones could feature after recovering from concussion.

Fulham head coach Rene Meulensteen needs a positive result at Old Trafford to ensure that his team don't lose touch with the rest of the pack at the bottom of the standings.

Meulensteen, who has previously been a part of the backroom staff at United, has won just four of his 15 matches in charge at Craven Cottage, and a 10th defeat could see him come under pressure from the club's owner.

Johnny Heitinga and Kostas Mitroglou, who joined Fulham just before the closure of the January transfer window, are likely to feature in the starting lineup.
