Manchester United will hope there are no lingering ill-effects from their recent Premier League setback at Tottenham Hotspur whe they host Fulham in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday.
.
United conceded an injury-time equaliser in a 1-1 draw at a snowy White Hart Lane last weekend, allowing champions Manchester City to breathe new life into the title race by cutting their rivals' lead to 5 points.
.
To that end, he will find little discouragement in Fulham's recent form.
.
Martin Jol's men, who squeezed past Blackpool after a 3rd-round replay, have collected just 12 points from a possible 45 in the Premier League; a run that has seen them slide to 14th in the English top flight.
.
Arsenal, without a trophy of any description since beating Manchester United on penalties in the 2005 final, will hope to carry their mid-week momentum into the cup when they visit second-tier Brighton and Hove Albion.
