Super Eagles duo of Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey will be keen to play a key role as Fulham chase their first victory against Manchester United at the Craven Cottage in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

Both players were in action last weekend as Fulham played out a 1-1 draw against Brighton, while the Red Devils opened their campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Fulham’s point came courtesy of a 97th-minute equalizer from super-sub Rodrigo Muniz, who continues to be linked with a move away in the closing days of the transfer window.
