Manchester United will be looking for their first league win in four games when they entertain bottom club Fulham.

Jose Mourinho’s team have drawn their past three Premier League games, including 2-2 draws against both Southampton and Arsenal in the past week.

Claudio Ranieri’s side meanwhile remain rooted to the bottom of the table but are just one point off Huddersfield Town in 17th and they will therefore hope to snatch something from Old Trafford. Follow our live stream of latest updates below.

What time does it start?

Manchester United vs Fulham kicks off at 3pm (GMT)

Where can I watch it?

The match will not be shown live on TV or online in the UK.

Independent Sport will keep you up to date with all the goals as they fly in via our live blog.

Highlights will be shown at 10:30pm on BBC One.

Player to watch

Jesse Lingard: The 25-year-old only managed his first goal of the season in Manchester United’s draw with Arsenal, but it seems that the England international could be hitting some form ahead of the packed Christmas schedule after a frustrating start to the season. He provided some much-needed energy through the middle in midweek and his substitution took the spark out of the hosts' attacks. Pace will be vital for United if they are to turn these draws into victories, and Lingard will be key to that.

West Ham 0-1 Crystal Palace, 46 minutes

West Ham also make a half time change. Andy Carroll is back, and replaces Lucas Perez.

Manchester United 3-0 Fulham, 46 minutes

Fulham need a spark. Two changes from Claudio Ranieri as Aboubakar Kamara and Luciano Vietto replaces Aleksandar Mitrovic and Tom Cairney.

Harry Latham-Coyle8 December 2018 16:06

Arsenal 0-0 Huddersfield, 46 minutes

Changes for Arsenal.

A change in formation, too, as Stephan Lichtsteiner is one of those not to re-emerge from the tunnel. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi come on. Alexandre Lacazette is the other to be replaced.

GOAL! West Ham 1-1 Crystal Palace (Robert Snodgrass, 48 minutes)

Ooh, that's lovely!

Robert Snodgrass puts West Ham back on level terms with a peach from the edge of the box.

Picking his spot, curling it past Wayne Hennessey - top notch!

Harry Latham-Coyle8 December 2018 16:08

Arsenal 0-0 Huddersfield, 52 minutes

Huddersfield have stood up strongly to Arsenal today, but now they've lost the gritty Jonathan Hogg.

Hogg has been forced to go off through injury. Juninho Bacuna is his replacement as Huddersfield look to continue to battle.

Harry Latham-Coyle8 December 2018 16:13

West Ham 1-1 Crystal Palace, 55 minutes

This London derby has really opened up since West Ham levelled.

Patrick Van Aanholt has picked up a knock and Jeffrey Schlupp is called for to come on at left back.

Moments later, Pablo Zabaleta nearly gives West Ham the lead with Aaron Wan-Bissaka just able to toe it past the post.

Harry Latham-Coyle8 December 2018 16:15

Manchester United 3-0 Fulham, 60 minutes

Chris Smalling has picked up a niggle, so Marcos Rojo is beckoned to replace him in the Manchester United defence.

They haven't scored five in a game since 2013 - is today the day for Jose Mourinho's side?

Harry Latham-Coyle8 December 2018 16:19

GOAL! West Ham 2-1 Crystal Palace (Javier Hernandez, 62 minutes)

The arch-poacher is at it again...

Felipe Anderson's free kick is just about saved by Wayne Hennessey, but Javier Hernandez is the quickest (and in truth only player) to react, applying the necessary touches to complete West ham's turnaround. 2-1.

Harry Latham-Coyle8 December 2018 16:21

GOAL! West Ham 3-1 Crystal Palace (Felipe Anderson, 64 minutes)

That's another pearler!

Javier Hernandez finds Felipe Anderson, who finds the top corner. West Ham pulling away.

Harry Latham-Coyle8 December 2018 16:24

PENALTY! Fulham have a penalty. Aboubakar Kamara is fouled.
