Manchester United ‧United's 1-0 defeat by Everton on Monday night marked only the fourth time that they have lost their opening Premier League match of the season - and the first since 2004. ‧They have gone on to win the league title in two of the three previous seasons in which they lost their opening game: 1992-93 and 1995-96. ‧Sir Alex Ferguson's side are unbeaten in the league at Old Trafford in 2012, winning eight of their nine fixtures at home and keeping seven clean sheets. ‧They have only conceded seven goals in their last 12 league matches - five of them against Everton. Fulham ‧Fulham are vying to start a top-flight season with back-to-back wins for the first time in the club's history. ‧They had the fourth worst away record in the Premier League last season, earning only four wins and 17 points from 19 matches. However, three of those wins came in their last seven attempts. ‧Fulham were the only side in the top flight last season not to have a player sent off. M.E.N Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Fulham - Reds should bounce back from Monday's game and anything other than three points would be a major surprise Key opponent: Hangeland - big defender is in for a busy afternoon but he has ability Mark Lawrenson's Premier League predictions Man Utd 3-0 Fulham Manchester United are still trying to integrate their new players into their team. The fuss and furore over Robin van Persie and the 20 minutes he played against Everton on Monday night was unbelievably over the top because it will take him time to get to know his new team-mates and how they play. Much was made of United's defeat against the Toffees, but that was always going to be a really tough fixture, especially in a night game at Goodison Park and in the first game of the season. A weekend home game against Fulham is a completely different proposition, although Fulham had an excellent opening-day win at home over Norwich. People are asking questions about where all United's attacking players will fit in but I am not sure Sir Alex Ferguson will be too bothered. He knows he has so many good players, who are versatile enough to play anywhere across the frontline. It is at the back they are a bit short at the moment, although I hear Jonny Evans might be fit by Saturday. To be honest, though, I cannot see the United defence being worked too hard, no matter who is in it. Of far more concern to Ferguson will be getting the attacking side of things right. They need to play with the same sort of width we have come to expect from United in recent years and, if they do, I cannot see Fulham stopping them. http://tinyurl.com/8gahahr http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19304316 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19326517 -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ☆ SCORING MACHINE︰ Ruud van Nistelrooy ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.118.31.187
