Английн Премьер лигийн хүрээнд Манчестер Юнайтед болон Фулхэм багууд ням гарагт Крэйвен Коттеж цэнгэлдэхэд учраа тааран тоглох гэж байна.
Манчестер Юнайтед өнгөрсөн долоо хоногт Манчестер Ситид 1-0-ийн харьцаатай хожигдож, улмаар EFL Cup-ийн хүрээнд Брайтонд 3-2-оор ялагдсан тааруухан амжилттай байгаа юм. Ялангуяа Брайтонтой хийсэн тоглолтод 2-0-ийн тэргүүллээ алдсан нь 1976 оноос хойш Олд Траффордод тохиолдоогүй үзэгдэл болжээ. Энэхүү дараалсан бүтэлгүйтлийн улмаас дасгалжуулагч Каррик шүүмжлэлд өртөөд байгаа ч тэрээр багийнхаа нөхцөл байдлыг тайван хүлээж авахыг уриалж, сүүлийн тоглолтуудад гаргасан сайн талуудаа үргэлжлүүлэх хэрэгтэйг онцоллоо.
Фулхэмийн дасгалжуулагч Алваро Арбелоагийн хувьд баг нь хүснэгтийн доод хэсэгт бичигдэж байгаа ч Ливерпүүлтэй хийсэн өмнөх тоглолтод тэнцээ авч анхны оноогоо цуглуулсан нь эерэг үзүүлэлт болов. Тэрээр Премьер лигийн дасгалжуулагч бүр өндөр дарамт дор ажилладаг бөгөөд ням гарагийн тоглолтод хоёр баг хоёулаа ялалтын төлөө ширүүн тэмцэл өрнүүлнэ гэдгийг мэдэгдлээ.
Статистик мэдээллээс харахад Манчестер Юнайтед сүүлийн 21 тоглолтынхоо 20-д нь Фулхэмд хожигдоогүй байна. Гэсэн хэдий ч Фулхэм 2026 онд Премьер лигийн 10 тоглолтод гоол оруулж чадаагүй нь тэдний довтолгооны шугам сул байгааг харуулж байна. Ням гарагийн тоглолт Британийн цагаар 16:30 цагт эхлэх бөгөөд Sky Sports сувгаар шууд дамжуулах юм.

Manchester United will hope to end a miserable week on a high when they go to Fulham on Sunday.
United went down 1-0 at home derby rivals Manchester City last Sunday, despite playing for the majority of the game with a man advantage following Phil Foden’s first-half dismissal.
That was followed by a 3-2 defeat against Brighton in the EFL Cup, representing the first time since 1976 that United had lost after holding a 2-0 lead at Old Trafford.
Those results have inevitably cranked up the pressure on Carrick, who worked wonders last season to guide United into the Champions League after a chaotic spell under Ruben Amorim.
But the former England midfielder called for calm ahead of Sunday’s trip to Fulham.
He said: “We’ve got to put things in perspective, it’s not a catastrophe or a disaster, it’s not the end of the world. We’re not in a place where we have gone on an awful long run of horrific results.
“We’ve lost a couple of games recently. We feel we’ve started and been in all the games we’ve played, we’re not having a real struggle all the time. We’ve done a lot of good things, the belief comes from that. The good things we’ve done gets lost in the surrounding feeling but they don’t get lost by us.”
Carrick’s Fulham counterpart Alvaro Arbeloa is also under scrutiny with his side third from bottom in the Premier League, although they did get their first point last weekend with an impressive goalless draw at Liverpool.
The former Real Madrid boss said: “Every Premier League manager is under pressure, it’s the same for every manager and it’s not because [of] what comes from outside it’s because you have to be really demanding from yourself.
“All the managers, we want to win every weekend and for sure when you are a coach of a big team you are always under pressure but same for me because I need to win games. I think both teams will want to win the game on Sunday, so it’s going to be a good battle.”
