Man Utdvs.Fulham

Fulham head coach Marco Silva is facing an intriguing selection dilemma up front for Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Cottagers arrive in the north on the back of a 2-1 Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, where Rodrigo Muniz delivered the killer touch with a winning chip at Molineux.

The Brazilian was also at the double in his side's identical FA Cup fourth-round success over Wigan Athletic, and he could hardly have done more to keep Raul Jimenez at bay from the first whistle.

Muniz has our vote to start against the holders, who will be reuniting with former playmaker Andreas Pereira, expected to start in the number 10 slot due to Emile Smith Rowe's ankle injury.

Adama Traore and Alex Iwobi are expected to complete the attacking quartet, while Sasa Lukic and Sander Berge will operate in midfield before the former serves a Premier League ban for accumulated yellow cards.

Ryan Sessegnon's first-minute opener against Wolves in midweek should not be enough to see him reprise his role over first-choice Antonee Robinson, while Issa Diop should also cede his spot at the back to Calvin Bassey.

Jorge Cuenca is likely to be a victim of Silva switching back to a 4-2-3-1 shape too, but given the magnitude of Sunday's game - where Fulham should feel incredibly confident of slaying the holders - Bernd Leno might be trusted in goal over cup 'keeper Steven Benda.

Reiss Nelson (thigh), Harry Wilson (foot) and Kenny Tete (knee) join Smith Rowe on the sidelines for this game.

Fulham possible starting lineup:

Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Traore, Pereira, Iwobi; Muniz
