However they remain fairly inconsistent at Old Trafford with only five teams having scored fewer league goals at home.
But Fulham are one of the division’s tamest sides on their travels, with just a single away win all season.
Mid-table comfort is the order of the day for Marco Silva’s men but fans will be hoping for a more exciting finish to the campaign, having won just once in the league since the turn of the year.
Date, kick-off time and venue

Manchester United vs Fulham team news
United will be without Rasmus Hojlund for the game, and the next “two to three weeks” after the in-form striker suffered a muscle injury. He will miss the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium on March 3 as a result.
Luke Shaw is out for months with his own muscle issue, with Mason Mount, Lisandro Martinez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Tyrell Malacia and Anthony Martial all still sidelined.
Joao Palhinha is suspended for Fulham, who will likely bring in Sasa Lukic to shore up their midfield as a result.
Rodrigo Muniz should continue up front amid Raul Jimenez’s injury, keeping January signing Armando Broja on the bench. The Albanian will return to the squad having missed the Aston Villa defeat through illness.
Willian is a doubt for Fulham, but Kenny Tete is fit.
