Game: FULHAM vs MANCHESTER UTD
Type: English FA Cup
Date: 7 March, 2009
PREVIEW
---------
Fulham have exceeded many expectations with their consistency this season. They have turned Craven Cottage into a fortress where they average a meagre 0.87 goals per game in their last 13 home matches. Despite their recent blip against Hull at home, this match will provide the host an extra impetus considering that a semifinal spot rewards the winner.
Man Utd can edge closer to a remarkable haul of five trophies by claiming an FA Cup semi-final spot at the expense of Fulham on Saturday. However, with Inter Milan due at Old Trafford in a Champions League second-leg on Wednesday, Fulham would want to take advantage of the distraction. Man Utd are undefeated in their last 6 away games, and could prove to be a tough nut to crack considering that they concede an average of 0.48 goals per away game!

PICK
------
Believe what you want in the media but i have this funny feeling that MANCHESTER UTD will do a clean sweep of all the 5 titles on offer (after all, 2 is in the bag already!). With asian handicap at 1/2 ball only, i'd jump on this opportunity to back the visitors to progress with ease.
