Craven Cottage's reputation as a "good away" in the
eyes of the United support has been tarnished of late, with the
team taking only one point from the old stadium in the past three
seasons. The jinx feels less likely to strike this time, given the
way that Sir Alex Ferguson's team have built the best away record
in the country. Unbeaten and seemingly impenetrable at the back,
they travel with conviction. On the flipside, though, they are due
a reverse and Martin Jol's Fulham project is coming together. This
will be the London club's 32nd game of a season that began with a
3-0 win against Runavik in June.
