It seems far-fetched that Manchester United could entertain thoughts of vengeance against Fulham, but the memory of a 3-0 loss at Craven Cottage in December when injuries forced the visitors to pick midfielders as centre-backs must still be fresh. While Sir Alex Ferguson's team is in much better shape now Fulham will be trying to regroup after the 3-1 defeat by Juventus in Turin. They have little time to revitalise themselves. Their sole away win so far in the league came at Portsmouth on the opening weekend. Kevin McCarra
