 defeat to champions Manchester City in a tight affair. They have been relegated in their last three seasons in the Premier League, but this season they have had a strong start sitting at ninth with 19 points from 14 games.
During their last visit to Fulham back in 2021, Manchester United recorded a 2-1 win at Craven Cottage. Meanwhile, Red Devils have won 11 out of their 12 fixtures against the Cottagers, which is encouraging for Erik Ten Hag.
Fulham have bad news with their top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has nine league goals, ruled out of the contest due to a foot injury, and might not represent Serbia at the World Cup. Neeskens Kebano and Solomon are out with injury while Kenny Tete and Harrison Reed are out with suspensions.
Bobby Decordova-Reid should slot in at right-back after coming back from his ban. Tom Cairney could come in for a start in midfield due to Reed’s absence, while Carlos Vinicius is again likely to feature at centre-forward due to Mitrovic’s injury.
For Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo and Antony could be both back in the match-day squad after recovering from their injuries. Raphael Varane, Brandon Williams and Axel Tuanzebe will again definitely be out through injury, while Diogo Dalot is suspended for his red card against Aston Villa in the league.
Tyrell Malacia’s versatility could come into play as he slots into right-back with Victor Lindelof getting another start with Lisandro Martinez. Antony Martial started against Villa in the EFL Cup and should be back in the lineup along with Antony and Rashford.
Andreas Pereira, who scored from the penalty spot against Man City last time out, will also line up for the home side against his former club. Pereira’s main task at Fulham was to fill a large hole in the team left by Fabio Carvalho.
In Pereira, the Cottagers recruited a player who had featured in a variety of positions. But it was visible to Marco Silva that the Brazilian would assume the attacking midfield role, occupying similar spaces by sitting to the left of Fulham’s three midfielders in possession.
The midfielder prefers to use his creativity, playing the final pass more often. Pereira has averaged 1.6 touches in the opposition box and averages 7.2 passes into the area. He has created 14 chances for Mitrovic, being a perfect playmaker like De Bruyne for City. His set-piece delivery has been a major threat helping Fulham score seven times from corners.
David De Gea(GK); Malacia(RB), Victor Lindelof(CB), Lisandro Martinez(CB), Shaw (LB); Casemiro (CM), Christian Eriksen(CM); Antony (RW), Marcus Rashford(LW), Bruno Fernandes(CAM); Antony Martial(ST).
Manchester United should return back to winning ways with goals from Rashford and Martial to extend their winning streak at Craven Cottage with Fulham struggling to score without their star striker Mitrovic.
That path is difficult to find even in daylight, lower down by the tree line it is almost totally obscured. Am heading up there tonight and starting out tommorow, aiming to be camping in Glen Feshie Friday.
I've been up the path a few times - I think it's the best route on Mullach Clach a' Bhlair - and it is very overgrown in places. Sometimes the line where it follows a shelf is all you can see.
I hope the weather it improves for you Dawn. It's raining again today and the Cairngorms are cloud-covered.
Nice wee adventure, Chris.
A great read Chris it highlights the level of experience you have and the confidence you have to pack up and move in the middle of the night. I assume it was the Soulo you were using. I did wonder if it give a new meaning to the term "wild camping"
Mike, either choice could have been the wrong one! It was hard to leave the warmth of the tent. If it had been raining hard or snowing I would probably have stayed put.
Nielsen, it was the Soulo. It's a rock solid tent but the wind was getting under the cap over the top vent and making it drum loudly. I've not had that happen before.
I haven't packed up and moved in the night for many decades! I wouldn't have done so if the shelter of the glen hadn't been fairly close.
Chris, your comment on seeing the skeletal dead pines reminded me of a passage in your book, the munros and tops where you mention that you feel your'e being watched. Have you read the third person? Its about adventurers who have sensed a presence when alone or when close to exhaustion. (im not suggesting you were close to exhaustion).I recently attended a lecture by Doug Scott "The 3 Peaks" he describes a similar experience.
Nath, I haven't read that book but I have read accounts of mountaineers and other explorers feeling there was an extra companion with them when exhausted and I've heard Doug Scott speak about it in lectures. I've never had the experience myself - though I have been exhausted at times. I have though experienced a heightened sense of reality, which I had on the descent into Glen Feshie and which was probably one of the reasons those dead trees seemed so eerie. I think this comes about through an awareness that more than usual concentration and care is needed due to the unusual circumstances, in this case descending steep rough slopes on a very dark night.
Great post Chris! Was on the edge of my office chair today reading it! I had never experienced sleeping out with the rutting stags until a fortnight ago at Loch Ossian it made the experience even more wild, incredible how loud some of them were. I had a similar experience of a stormy night once on the Carneddau in a collapsing tunnel tent and had to bail and ended up in a concrete shelter by a reservoir dam then down very early morning back to the car. You've just got to let nature win sometimes I suppose, you'd be daft not too.
I much prefere the stormy weather and snow for camping, I will rarely trek in the woods in summer.
I only carry a small oilcloth to make a lean-to shelter and get a lot of satisfaction out of making myself reasonably comfortable with very little.
Several aquaculture researchers at MSU’s Thad Cochran National Warmwater Aquaculture Center compared the growth and survival of two groups of recently hatched catfish, called fry. Both groups were raised in ponds, but for six weeks, one group ate commercial feed daily while the other group did not.
“Postponing the use of specially prepared commercial fry feed for six weeks showed fry are relying on naturally occurring microscopic food organisms, such as zooplankton,” said Charles Mischke, aquaculture research professor at MSU’s Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville.
Zooplankton are a natural food source for fry that can save producers money, especially as prices for commercial catfish feed continue to rise. These microscopic organisms, which are high in protein and other nutrients, are abundant in ponds and other bodies of water, Mischke said.
Fry that were not fed a supplemented feed for 6 weeks grew as well as fry that were given expensive fry feed daily. Producers usually supply a specially formulated, high protein fry feed once or twice daily for 6 weeks.
Wise said the study also shows the importance of promoting the growth of zooplankton communities in ponds so they can better serve as a natural food source. High levels of zooplankton can be maintained through proper pond and fertilization management.
“Optimizing zooplankton communities by implementing a regimented fertilization program can save producers money by reducing feed cost during the initial stages of fry production,” he said.
Mississippi is one of the nation’s leading suppliers of catfish fry. Last year the state’s catfish fingerling and fry sales totaled $7.7 million.
Catfish business is one of the profitable business in the world today. I think i can learn more from here..and be one of the largest cat fish farmers in Nigeria.# Changelog
