Fergie hails Hodgson factor

ALEX FERGUSON has hailed the impact of Roy Hodgson — and claims easy games against Fulham are now a thing of the past.

The Manchester United boss takes his injury-hit side to Craven Cottage tomorrow knowing they are in for a challenge.

Fulham won 3-2 away at FC Basel in midweek, despite resting a number of key players.

And Fergie claims that fact, plus their 2-0 win over his side last season, shows how well Hodgson has done since arriving at the club in 2007.

He said: "We lost to them last year, and analysing that game was quite revealing for us,

"And who'd have thought Fulham could play in Europe with five changes and win? It'd a remarkable turnaround since Roy's gone there and a very difficult game for anyone.

"I think it's down to the manager. You only have to see where they were before he went there — in relegation trouble.

"Last season they improved again, they're in Europe and have qualified for the next stage."

MATCH PREVIEW

Manchester United picked off sheep in Wolves' clothing on Tuesday, and there's no disguising their title ambition as they seek to go level on points with leaders Chelsea.

Craven Cottage had been a happy hunting ground for United until their last visit in March. Fulham won the fixture for the first time in 45 years and Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney were sent off for the visitors.

That was United's fourth, and final, league defeat of last season - but they have already lost as many games this campaign.

If the champions are to enjoy capital gain on Saturday, they must overcome a Fulham side that have made their best start to a season since 2003.

Roy Hodgson's team are ninth and qualified for the knockout stage of the Europa League in midweek, although the competition has not helped their domestic form. They have failed to win in six of their seven league matches immediately following a European game this season.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• Fulham beat Manchester United at Craven Cottage for the first time in 45 years last March. A Danny Murphy penalty and 87th-minute strike from Zoltan Gera ensured a 2-0 win, while Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney were sent off for the visitors.

• Prior to that defeat, Manchester United had won nine successive league and cup matches against Fulham, and were unbeaten in 12 meetings (W10, D2).

Fulham

• Fulham are unbeaten in four league games. They are undefeated in six matches in all competitions (W4, D2).

• They are vying to extend their unbeaten home run to nine games in all competitions (W6, D2).

• Fulham's tally of 23 points after 16 games is their best for six years.

• The club's only win in seven league matches immediately following a Europa League match was 1-0 at home to Sunderland on 6 December (W1, D3, L3).

• Jonathan Greening, who is expected to make his 300th career league start on Saturday, will be facing a former club. He made 27 appearances for Manchester United between 1998 and 2001.

Manchester United

• United are the only team not to have dropped any points from a winning position in the Premier League this season.

• They boast the equal-best away record in the division this season, alongside Chelsea and Aston Villa, with 15 points from a possible 24.

• Wayne Rooney has scored seven goals in the last seven Premier League away matches, including four goals in the last two games.

• If Paul Scholes scores he will become the 18th player to score 100 goals in the Premier League.
