  • After a run of two wins in eight Premier League games in December and January (D2 L4), Manchester United have won all four so far in February. They last had a 100% win rate in a month in which they played 5+ Premier League games in January 2009 (5/5).

  • Bruno Fernandes has scored the winning goal in both of Manchester United’s last two Premier League meetings with Fulham, including a second half stoppage time winner in the reverse fixture in November. In all competitions, he’s scored four in his last three against the Cottagers.

  • Rodrigo Muniz has scored in each of last three Premier League games, netting four of Fulham’s six goals in total in these games. He’d gone 23 league games without a goal with the Cottagers and Middlesbrough combined before this run.
