Fulham v Blades LIVE
GOAL BLADESSSSS
and it’s Ndiaye who gets it with a stunning run and calm finish, it started well inside his own half but he just kept running before picking his spot in the corner past Rodak, and the Blades lead in the capital!
Early cross from the right
is aimed towards Mitrovic at the back post after Fulham broke quickly, but Foderingham was out to pluck it out of the air comfortably enough
Teams are out at the Cottage
with the Blades in their black away strip and the hosts in red - a big test for the Blades tonight against the leaders but one they’ll feel more confident about having won all three of their last three games
Fair to say that
the recall of Jack Robinson to United’s starting XI has not gone down universally well with Blades fans, the thought of him up against Mitrovic is scaring some of them, but it’s a chance for him to show what he can do in Ben Davies’ absence - have to back him to do a job as the only central defensive cover in the United squad
Iliman back in the side
A welcome return for the young man, who hasn’t featured under Hecky so far this season...
