– Man Utd have scored at least twice in five of their last seven home matches

There are far more decisive fixtures taking place on the final day of the Premier League season than Manchester United’s tussle with Fulham but the Old Trafford encounter should not disappoint.
The Red Devils secured Champions League qualification with their 4-1 hammering of Chelsea on Thursday night, while visitors Fulham have enjoyed a terrific season under Marco Silva and are guaranteed a top-half finish.
Team news
Manchester United winger Antony was taken off on a stretcher after sustaining a leg injury in Thursday’s 4-1 win over Chelsea and is unlikely to feature.
The Brazilian joins Lisandro Martinez, Donny van de Beek, Tom Heaton, Marcel Sabitzer and Phil Jones on the sidelines. Luke Shaw is a doubt.
Fulham will be without Andreas Pereira, Layvin Kurzawa and Tim Ream but Dan James could be in contention.
The stats
Fulham’s last three matches in the Premier League have featured a total of 14 goals.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have been in fine goalscoring form at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have scored at least twice in five of their last seven home matches in all competitions.
Fulham ace Aleksandar Mitrovic bagged a brace against Crystal Palace last time out and has scored 14 goals in the Premier League this season.
Prediction
Chelsea were woeful in defeat at Old Trafford on Thursday, but Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will draw great confidence from his side’s 4-1 win over the Blues which was their third victory on the spin in the Premier League.
Securing Champions League football was key for the Old Trafford club and their home form has played a crucial role in that achievement with the Red Devils having won 14 of their 18 home league fixtures this term.
That could persuade punters to side with United against Fulham on Sunday and Ten Hag will be keen to continue their winning streak ahead of next Saturday’s FA Cup final against rivals Manchester City.
Visitors Fulham deserve enormous credit for what they have achieved under Marco Silva this season. The Cottagers will finish tenth in the first season back in the top flight after promotion from the Championship and they have already beaten Brentford, Brighton, Aston Villa and Chelsea this season, so a surprise victory is not beyond them.
But backing goals at Old Trafford makes greater appeal and over 3.5 goals at 23/20 with LiveScore Bet looks the best wager.
There have been four or more goals in two of Fulham’s last three matches – a 5-3 win over Leicester and a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace – and United were 3-1 victors when the sides met at Old Trafford in the FA Cup earlier this season.
With star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic back in form after his ban Fulham will likely play on the front foot, so do not be surprised if it rains goals in Manchester on Sunday.
