Manchester United will be aiming to go three points clear at the top of the Premier League on Monday evening when they host Fulham at Old Trafford, as all the money has been for Wayne Rooney to score first, Betfred reveal.
After Manchester City dropped points at Stoke City on Saturday, the Red Devils have a massive opportunity to get a firm grip on the title race. After all, if they go three points clear at this stage, they are massive favourites to finish top of the table.
Sir Alex Ferguson knows that nothing in Premier League football is that easy though, so he will have his players focused as they search for a sixth consecutive league victory.

Last time out in the league, United secured a convincing 5-0 win at Wolves and something similar will be very welcome indeed. An early goal could be the key for the Premier League Champions to settle into their game and put in a professional performance.
As for Fulham, they could break into the top ten with victory in this one, but it will definitely be a tough challenge for them. Looking at the recent form of Martin Jol’s men, they have lost their last couple so would love a positive outcome on Monday evening.

There is an overwhelming feeling that it is all about next season for Fulham, but they will want to finish this one strongly and victory at Old Trafford would be a massive boost to do just that.
As mentioned though, they have their work cut out. Manchester United have won their last eight league and cup matches against Fulham at Old Trafford, scoring an impressive 22 goals in the process.
It was United that dominated when the two teams met earlier in the season too, running out 5-0 winners at Craven Cottage back in December.
Looking at the team news for this one, Manchester United duo Tom Cleverley and Phil Jones are likely to be available, but the game comes too soon for Nani and Michael Owen.
For Fulham, there are no fresh injury concerns and they will hope their players can raise their game from 8pm on Monday evening.
