Fulham v Man Utd preview

Published Dec. 20, 2011 6:17 p.m. ET

Fulham will welcome back Bobby Zamora. The 30-year-old striker missed Saturday's 2-0 defeat of Bolton with a medial ligament injury in his left knee but is fit to play. Steve Sidwell continues to miss out after a hernia operation and fellow midfielder Simon Davies has a back complaint. The pair are joined on the sidelines by goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer (spine) and Zdenek Grygera (knee). Sir Alex Ferguson must decide whether to make changes for Manchester United's second visit to London in four days. After disposing of QPR on Sunday, United now tackle Fulham at Craven Cottage. The unexpected return of Javier Hernandez from an ankle strain at the weekend offers Ferguson more attacking options, whilst Ashley Young may also be called upon for one of the wide berths. Fulham (from): Stockdale, Etheridge, Riise, Kelly, Baird, Hangeland, Hughes, Dembele, Briggs, Kasami, Duff, Murphy, Gecov, Etuhu, Ruiz, Dempsey, Frei, Zamora, Sa, Johnson. Man United (from): De Gea, Lindegaard, Amos, Evans, Smalling, Ferdinand, Evra, Jones, Fryers, Cole, Carrick, Young, Valencia, Park, Gibson, Nani, Giggs, Macheda, Rooney, Welbeck, Berbatov, Hernandez, Diouf.
