Manchester United could use a routine win over Fulham as they look to turn the corner, but recent history suggests that is unlikely to come on Sunday night.
The Red Devils are alarmingly close to the relegation zone, having failed to make any improvements since the arrival of Ruben Amorim in the dugout with the Portuguese coach. hitting his side after last weekend's dreadful defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.
A similar display at Craven Cottage could result in Man Utd's first defeat at the stadium in almost 15 years, with defensive injuries only compounding Amorim's woes. He will be hoping Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes can provide a few more moments of difference in the capital this weekend.
Here's how Amorim could line up his Man Utd sideways up west london.
GK: Andre Onana – The absolute screamer of goaltending proved costly against the Seagulls last weekend and he was given a much-needed rest in midweek for the visit of Rangers in the Europa League. Mistakes are returning to Onana's game after a strong start to the season.
CB: Noussair Mazraoui – There are questions over Mazraoui's fitness after he was taken off against Rangers as a precaution, but he could return to the squad on Sunday night. With Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro major doubts to feature, the Moroccan could be rushed back into the 11.
CB: Harry Maguire – A vintage performance from Maguire as he came off the bench against Rangers, with his mistake allowing Cyriel Dessers to score a stunning equaliser.
CB: Lisandro Martinez – Jimenez is known for his aerial ability and the Mexican could target the diminutive Martinez on Sunday. The center back's lack of length has proved costly on occasion this season.
RM: Amad Diallo – The Man Utd great has taken his game to a new level under Amorim, thriving in a wide role in midfield and as part of the front three. He now has six goals and as many assists Premier League this term.
CM: Manuel Ugarte – The Uruguayan will be tasked with winning the midfield battle against the likes of Sander Berge and Sasa Lukic, while also manning Emile Smith Rowe or former Man Utd midfielder Andreas Pereira.
CM: Kobbie Mainoo – Mainoo has not been able to replicate the consistency and quality of his first season, but has still shown his immense potential in bursts. You should be well rested on Sunday after just a short midweek meeting.
LM: Diogo Dalot – The Portuguese will have some challenging tasks on Sunday. First, he will have to stifle former Liverpool in-form winger Harry Wilson, with the speedy Adama Traore likely to be his opponent in the closing stages.
RF: Alejandro Garnacho – Uncertainty over Garnacho's future at Man Utd continues as Chelsea are monitoring his situation at Old Trafford, with the offer of Amorim an unconvincing answer for questions about his future.
ST: Joshua Zirkzee – Zirkzee did dream debut in this match on the opening day of the season, scoring the late winner at Old Trafford in a nervy win. This has been the highlight of his Man Utd career so far.
LF: Bruno Fernandes – The captain spared Man Utd blushes on Thursday with his late winner and he remains a difference maker for the Red Devils, despite those around him struggling to live up to his often high standards.
