- 10' Fulham FC have won 455 goals from 346 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 15' Bryan Mbeumo is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Fulham FC so far.
- 20' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 25' Shea Charles has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 16 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 30' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Mason Mount suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 40' It looks surprising Fulham FC does not make any changes. Bruno Fernandes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 50' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Timothy Castagne on 50 minutes.

- 63' What a moment for Lisandro Martinez! That strike on 63 puts his side firmly in control.
- 68' Fulham FC currently sit 20 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 71' Kevin Santos gets the nod from Fulham FC. He replaces Oscar Bobb and will look to change the dynamic.
- 76' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 77' The crowd applauds Sander Berge as he leaves the pitch. Hugo Larsson steps in for Fulham FC.
- 80' Rodrigo Muniz is ready to make an impact after coming on for Gonzalo Garcia at the 80 minute mark.
- 84' A tactical swap from Manchester United FC — Patrick Dorgu on, Luke Shaw off on 84 minutes.
- 85' Poor challenge from Rodrigo Muniz. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 89' Matheus Cunha has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 89 minutes.
