Manchester United head into their final Premier League game of the season with their place in the top four already secured.
The Red Devils rubber-stamped their spot in the Champions League with their victory over Chelsea in midweek. First-half goals from Casemiro and Anthony Martial set Erik ten Hag’s men on their way, with Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford also both getting on the scoresheet.
Joao Felix did manage to pull a goal back late on for the Blues but nobody could deny United their place in the Champions League. Whilst they have achieved that, there is still plenty to play for on the final day.
A victory against Fulham guarantees the Red Devils third spot in the Premier League - their joint second-best finish in the standings since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement. A draw might well be enough but they then have to hope Newcastle fail to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The Red Devils could be tempted to make changes to their side though. United take on neighbours Manchester City in the FA Cup final in just under a week's time.

Elsewhere, Fulham are already guaranteed a tenth-placed finish in what has been an excellent season back in the top-flight. Marco Silva’s side do have some demons to bury though after a disastrous trip to Old Trafford earlier this season.

The Serbian striker followed his teammate off of the pitch after shoving referee Chris Kavanagh. Manager Silva was then also sent off due to his protests with Fulham eventually going on to lose 3-1.
