Manchester United have not been consistent this season in the Premier League, and that has caused them not to be among the top four teams in the Premier League table. I'm not certain if Manchester United can beat Fulham because Fulham is currently dominating Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Manchester United really need a supporting striker. Their new striker seems unlucky. It took him quite alot of time for him to begin scoring, now he started scoring, it seems he is inconsistent. Just like an injury player. Manchester United has has a long history of inconsistent strikers since after the times of Barbatov and RVP.

Rashford playing the striker role has been inefficient as his efforts have not been felt. Manchester United needs to have a win and they have been trying their best, maybe they might get lucky to go home 3 points or at worst 1 point.

It is not certain that Manchester United will win this match if the game strategy does not change. They played too shyly like they weren't at home.
Fulham were very serious about threatening Onana's goal several times in the 25 minutes of the first half.
Shy, like playing not in front of the public, I mean not daring to attack.
Mainoo and Forson must have the courage to break through and Garnacho must also increase his courage to break through Fulham's defense.

1-0 Aston Villa won through Watkins' quick goal in the 4th minute.
I didn't watch it. Only find out via the score site.
Edit: 2-0 now Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Losing Hojlund should not be a burden for Manchester United to end this match with a win, Manchester United needs to maintain its sharpness even without Hojlund in order to improve its position in the standings. The match has still been running for 33 minutes, the score has not changed for both teams. Manchester United must take advantage of this match in order to get full points. Manchester United players must increase their motivation when playing at Old Trafford to open their way into the top four.

All possibilities are still very open, with their respective ambitions and the challenges they will face in the future, there is a possibility that the three teams will swap positions. It is still too early to guess who will be champions at the end of the season, Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal will try their best to finish in first place when the season ends. Meanwhile, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Man United will compete for the remaining tickets to UCL.

This week there are no big matches that attract attention, the match between Chelsea versus Tottenham has been postponed. It is possible that Man United will temporarily rise to fifth place in the standings, currently the Ten Hag fleet is hosting Fulham, the score is still 0-0. I predict The Red Devils will secure full points, it would be a shame to lose at Old Trafford.

Aston Villa itself is currently hosting Nottingham Forest, Unay Emery fleet is currently leading with a score of 1-0, it looks like there will be lots of goals scored in this match. If successful, Aston Villa will confirm its position in the top four of the standings. Let's see how changes in the top five standings will occur, Man City and Arsenal will compete in the next few hours, if both of them lose points then Liverpool will be at a big advantage.

Aston Villa is already winning their match, but in the match between Manchester United and Fulham, everything is not so good for the hosts, in the 18th minute of the match, only the guests attack. I don't know, despite Manchester United's very good performance in the last five matches, I'm still very skeptical about this team. I’m not sure that they will be able to finish the season in the top 4, despite the fact that they came quite close, there are still teams higher up that will be quite difficult to beat, and of course if they can continue to win they will be able to achieve this, but I doubt it.

Have bad news for Manchester United their striker Rasmus Højlund absent until two weeks later after breaking new record as youth Premier League players scoring goal in six consecutives premier league match. Erik ten Hag moving Marcus Rashford position from usually filled right winger and move up as central forward and looking for how effective with this scheme.
The games have started 20 minutes but Manchester United not scoring any one goal yet, I don't know how possibility for Manchester United when losing their machine goals Rasmus Højlund are there any other player will consistent scoring goals? Actually, Manchester United not comfort position and three points is most important result for them if want get qualify to UEFA Champion League spot position.

Watkins scores at 4 mins to take the lead against Nottingham Forest. Aston Villa looking threatening and comfortable with a goal lead. If Villa manage to win tonight, they will be 5 points clear of Spurs and will solidify the 4th position for the time being.

Some matches have been starting 10 minutes ago and aston villa is the only club that has scored the first goal against nottingham forest. Aston fully dominate the game against nottingham forest and im seeing this club has very big chance to win the game soon.
The competition is not that hard for aston villa against nottingham forest. The club needs to keep the momentum to make aston villa will able to qualify for the UCL next season. Winning against nottingham forest was a must and it must be done by aston villa to keep get perfect result.

Meanwhile, in another match manchester united is still struggling to score the first goal. Missing hojlund puts manchester united in so many disadvantage. Ten hag was not even choosing antony to play as starting line. This guy has no future in manchester united and he needs to leave.
Rashford has been trusted by ten hag to be a striker in this game. MU faces difficulty in scoring against fulham. Not even single shoot on target has been made by united. The result may be so bad for MU.

The gameplay is kinda different compared when hojlund was there. forson played as RW and it's so strange ten hag has lost his trust to the antony that easy.

However, Liverpool's performance is quite consistent and strong and indeed Liverpool's performance does not depend on just a few core players. It has been proven that when player rotation occurs in the Liverpool team it will not affect their overall performance.
Likewise with Manchester City and Arsenal, I think the three top teams that are competing for the Premier League title this season have almost the same quality and make these three teams have the same percentage even though currently Liverpool is at the top of the standings.
With 12 games remaining anything is possible.

For the Aston Villa, Tottenham and Man United teams who are currently competing for 4th place in the standings in order to get a ticket to the UCL next season, it is also quite fierce, this team also has balanced strength and with many matches remaining in this season it also makes everything is likely to happen.

The difference in points between the 3 EFL teams is very tight, maybe at the end of the season it could change everything, because the EFL league is very tight.
However, based on the experience of the previous season, I am sure that Liverpool does not want to repeat its failure to win the EFL this season.
Even though we all know Manchseter City can overtake like last season when they finally became EFL champions, and for Arsenal, even though their performance has returned to stability, I don't think they can win the EFL this season because of their winning mentality. not yet formed in the players. In contrast to Manchester City, which has experience chasing points in the standings,
As a Liverpool fan, I want to see a sweet farewell to Klopp by presenting Liverpool as EFL champions, even though there are still 12 matches remaining.

TeamNews

with a clean total of 12 remaining matches for Liverpool and 13 for Man City and Arsenal, it is true that the League is still very, very open. All the top 3 candidates  can still steal points from each other and take advantage of the remaining situation. Liverpool has a 6 point lead while at that time the players have not  yet returned to their full composition. Man City and Arsenal are clearly in  complete formation and are able to increase their advantage in every match.

meanwhile what I pay most attention to is Aston Villa, Tottenham and Man United, all three of whom need to try harder to take 1 UCL seat. For me, this is much more  difficult to predict but the candidate with rising  productivity is Man United.

Man U will win this match but it's not that easy to win the match from Fulham because Man u will choke at any moment without any reason this is what they face in this season.
AV won the match with Notmm Forest as AV performance at home ground is pretty good.

I think he got a muscle injury recently because he was featured in the last Manchester United match against Luton and he was the one that scored their two winning goals(1 and 7 minutes of play).

Hojlund is going to be missed in today's Manchester United match against Fulham but still, I believe that Manchester United could win against Fulham without Hojlund since the match is being played in Old Trafford. It is for Ten Hag to change the formation of playing Rashford as a center forward and introduce a new player to play side wing in replace of Rashford's position. That ends it.

What should be Manchester United's major concern is when they meet Manchester City in their upcoming match after their todays match against Fulham

Hojlund's injury might affect Man United's performance. As we know, Hojlund has had quite an impressive performance recently and his instinct for scoring goals become sharp. So when Man United have to play without Hojlund it could be quite a tough battle for them. Man United does not have many options on the front line, so practically they will only rely on Rashford alone.

Even without Höjlund, Manchester United will win this match. I mean, if they want to be in the top four, they have to win. In recent games, even if they concede goals, they score a lot of goals and win. That's why defensive mistakes are not a big problem.
I think Aston Villa will also win, so the points difference will not decrease. Nottingham Forest cannot pose a serious threat. The team that has lost 3 games in a row at Villa Park wouldn't allow the 4th one to happen. Also Watkins is in great shape.

Just an estimate but I think hopefully it won't be that long. Hojlund has been key for Manchester United this season, he has found his game up front. Therefore, it would be a shame if he was absent for too long, Erik Ten Hag has also put his trust in him. Maybe the only option is to keep Rashford as a striker again, but we know that his level of consistency in scoring goals is very low.

Honestly Man Utd would miss the services of injured and in-form Hojlund who had been scoring goals for the club consistently though he would be out for three weeks, however I expect Rashford to take up the striker role against Fulham today of course any player can also score for the team because it's a must win match for the Red devils and the team playing at Old Trafford is an advantage thus a win keep the team to keep on pushing for top 4 spot having been very impressive in their previous matches though if they wins today there is another crucial match against Man City next week a derby match whose outcome would be also important to their UCL qualification.

3-5 weeks?    It is a really long time period for the Red Devils. They are really unlucky about his injury. As far as I remember he was injured for a while when he first arrived here as well. The fans would hope to see him healthier than this. Especially while there is a big improvement in his performance the team need him a lot. 

About the Manchester City game yeah his absence would make things worse in the attacking line. However I think with or without him the Red Devils would lose this game anyway. I appreciate the way they improved their form recently but this game is still very difficult.
