Lets face it, we're a couple of cancellations away from this...

None of these games have been postponed because a team is unable to have a 14 man squad.

Am I wrong?

3, maybe 4...

Ream, Onomah, Mitrovic, Bryan
It was Onomah's first game back from a long lay off, is he now in the Fulham Premiership squad? as he was omitted from their final list of players due to injury.

Anyone know how many Fulham 1st teamers played the 120mins on Saturday?

Regarding how many played 120 minutes, only 1 (Aina) that played their last Premiership game Vs Southampton on Boxing day did (four started)

I am probably being wildly optimistic but could Burnley get something tonight? Man U have a few injuries and hopefully Burnley won’t just roll over like a lot of teams.

I don't think it is wildly optimistic, Burnley have only lost one of their last six and haven't conceded more than one in any of those games. Getting Ben Mee back from injury was huge for them.

They will play exactly the way United often can't deal with, so deep there's no room to counter. It probably won't be a great game but I think it'll be close.

Seriously underrated player, would love him for rotation in our squad. Not a world beater, but very effective defender.

Trouble is, United away from home seem a different animal, think Burnley will hold them for the first half but as the game goes on, can see United breaking them down. Think Burnley will have to try and do what we do, get a goal early on and then that gives them something to defend.

I only know United are almost always bound to get a penalty, like they are already leading 1-0 before the match even started.

United are disgustingly good at getting out of tricky situations away from home, be it by their own grit and determination or by a dodgy call. Can't see anything other than a United win personally.

They’ll definitely get a penalty in this game to get them out of jail. Can give them against Burnley because nobody will make any fuss except dyche and then it will be glossed over in a day.

I don’t think Utd will take all 3 points.

in regards to the race for the top 4, a draw in the wolves V Everton match probably suits us best.

Can't really see Burnley getting anything from this game. They have 2 units up front, which I think suits the Utd CH's, it's quick tricky forwards getting behind and between their lines that they struggle with. Punting the ball up to the forwards will suit the likes of Maguire.

We all expect the obligatory penalty for Utd but, if their forward line is on song, I can see them stretching the Burnley defence and possibly scoring a few.

Personally, I think the game will be won in midfield and, atm, can only see Utd dominating there.

Sheffield United vs Newcastle is like watching two drunk blokes having a fight and failing to land a punch on each other.

agree but it’s been a good entertaining first half. Sheffield putting pressure on Newcastle for sure. Fernandez with a huge clearance and Darlow having a good run now

aaaaaand Ryan Fraiser is off seconds after receiving his first yellow card

Be interesting to see what happens now Newcastle are down to ten.
