Midweek Match Preview
Premier League
Fulham vs. Manchester United 12-21-2011 3:00 p.m. ET Fox Soccer/Fox Deportes
Manchester United take on Fulham Wednesday afternoon, the highlight of a busy game week for U.S. viewers.
Fulham have racked up 6 points in their last 2 Premier League home games; scoring 3 goals in the process, conceding 0. Netminder David Stockdale looks to be making a smooth transition from the Championship back to the Premier League after his loan move was terminated to replace the injured Schwarzer. Dempsey has been on fire lately, netting 60% of The Cottagers goals in December. He has a knack for scoring in big games, and Martin Jol will hope that continues Wednesday.
Man United are unbeaten in their last 7 Premier League games, winning 6 and drawing 1. This game will be United’s second match in four days, and with Boxing Day around the corner Sir Alex will surely be bringing in some fresh legs for their upcoming encounter. United have only conceded 2 goals in the League after that 6 goal thrashing they received courtesy of Manchester City. They will need to make plans for Dempsey though, who’s free scoring form will certainly worry the back four.
