Manchester United vs Fulham prediction and preview 

In what is essentially a dead rubber, Manchester United host Fulham in their final home of the Premier League season. The Red Devils have already sealed Champions League qualification and are four points clear of the third-placed Leicester, meaning three points on Tuesday will confirm their status are runners up. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have hit a rough patch with back to back home defeats against Leicester and Liverpool, making it six defeats at Old Trafford this season. Nonetheless, Man United willl hope to get back to winning ways as they build up to the Europa League final set for next week.

Meanwhile, Fulham have already been relegated from the Premier League and will return to the Championship next season. Fulham are yet to win a game since their win over Liverpool in March, and have recorded only five wins this campaign. Scott Parker's side have lost their last three games, but will hope to end the season on a high, with a win at Old Trafford in front of the supporters. However, the Red Devils will be favourites and are likely to clinch three points on Tuesday.
