I really don't know what's going on at Manchester United, with the exit of Dan Ashworth, Amorim's job is clearly cut out, the rebuilding process will take almost 3 years.

On facing former team-mate Emile Smith Rowe: "We know the qualities that he has and the threat he has so we just try to keep him and every player for Fulham quiet. They are a very good team.
"They know how they play and they have a lot of threats. They try to play out from the back but if they cannot play out from the back will play a bit longer. We will try and keep them very, very quiet."

Chris Sutton
Former Premier League striker
I am at this game for BBC Radio 5 live and I'm really looking forward to it. Fulham won this fixture last season and they had a brilliant win over Brighton last time out.
Arsenal needed corners to find a way past Manchester United on Wednesday, but they deserved to win the game anyway.
Martin Odegaard is a special talent and he is the difference maker for them. He knits everything together and he is the reason they are going on a bit of a run. Their confidence is growing and they look strong all over the pitch.
They did not miss Gabriel at the back against United, but this might be a tougher test for them, especially because some of Fulham's key players are Gunners old boys.
One of them could easily come back to haunt Arsenal and put a dent in their title bid, but Arteta's side have got the ability to grind out results when they need to.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Image source, ReutersFulham attacker Alex Iwobi speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm getting myself into goal scoring opportunities. That is what I am working on."
On facing his former club Arsenal: "That feeling is always going to be there. It was once my home but they are rivals now and my opposition and I am going to try and get the three points regardless.
"We have that confidence in the team that we can compete with anyone in the league. Getting results against Spurs and Brighton shows that we are ready for anyone.
"We are ambitious and want to achieve Europe but it us step by step."
Team news for our three 14:00 GMT games is just dropping - Arsenal are up against former players Bernd Leno, Alex Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe who all start for Fulham today.
Fulham v Arsenal (14:00 GMT)
Image source, ReutersMuch has been made of Arsenal's reliance on scoring from corners of late - with good reason - but Mikel Arteta said he wants his side to be "kings of everything".
Arsenal's tally of goals from corners this season is up to 22 - five more than any other side in Europe's top five leagues.
"We want to be the kings of everything," Arteta said.
"On set pieces, the best in the world; on high press, the best in the world; attacking in open spaces, the best in the world. Best atmosphere and stadium - the best at everything.
"Before it was we didn't score enough, we didn't challenge, we didn't win big games for 20 years. We want to be the best at everything."

Image source, Getty ImagesDan Ashworth was only appointed five months ago and that's because they spent five months trying to pay him out of his gardening leave at Newcastle.
On the weekend at Manchester United they were trying to explain away why they have got ticket prices at £66 and it's not a good look for the streamlined running of the first team.
I am pretty sure that Sir Jim Ratcliffe was minded to get rid of Erik ten Hag in the summer. I think after the 4-0 defeat at Crystal palace in May, there was a lot of commotion. I was told at that moment that it was not set in stone that Ten Hag would see the season out. He was in that much trouble.
Clearly Manchester United spoke to a lot of managers before the cup final and even spoke to some after as well. In the end they decided to stick with Ten Hag. Ashworth was on gardening leave at the time. He spoke to us in September and said he wasn't part of the decision.
I think Sir Jim Ratcliffe has not been particularly impressed at the way it was all handled and they ended up in the situation that he felt the club should have been in anyway, looking for a new manager. They now have a situation where there is a new manager trying to implement a new system with no training time because of midweek games, with players that really don't fit.
There is a lot of noise about Ruben Amorim but the reality is that he has won one game out of four. They have been beaten by Nottingham Forest yesterday and it's not a good look. I think Ashworth is the fall guy. I don't think this decision was based on yesterday's result but yesterday's result really encompassed the mess Manchester United are in at the moment.

Image source, ReutersThe news is an embarrassment for United.
As recently as February, Jim Ratcliffe expressed his frustration at being made to wait to bring Ashworth to Old Trafford as Newcastle held out for compensation.
In the end, United paid £3m for Ashworth, who ended up on gardening leave for the same amount of time he was actually in post at United.
The precise reasons for Ashworth's exit have not been explained.
Club sources say the decision was difficult but was made collaboratively following a period of transition, with the new ownership still trying to work out the best structure for the club.
Image source, PA MediaSome surprise news to bring you this morning - Manchester United sporting director Dan Ashworth has left his role after just five months.
The 53-year-old officially joined the club on 1 July after spending five months on gardening leave at Newcastle.
News of his departure was first reported by the Athletic., external
A United statement said the decision was made by mutual agreement.
What's that all about then...?
Plenty for us to get our teeth into today, at both ends of the table. Ipswich and Leicester need some wins sharpish.

Image source, BBC SportArsenal and Chelsea's wins in midweek and the Merseyside Derby falling foul of the miserable weather means Liverpool's lead could be cut to just/still four points by tea time today.
There's plenty of life left in this don't you worry.
Image source, ReutersArsenal and Chelsea will be hoping to take advantage of Storm Darragh and close the gap up on leaders Liverpool with wins on the road today.
Short trips to Fulham and Spurs don't look easy but winning titles is not for the faint of heart.
Can they get the job done?

Tottenham have won just one of their last 11 Premier League games against Chelsea (D2 L8), picking up a 2-0 home win in February 2023.
After a run of just two wins in 13 Premier League away games against Tottenham between 2006 and 2018 (D5 L6), Chelsea have now won four of their last five visits to Spurs (L1).
Chelsea have won 35 Premier League games and scored 116 Premier League goals against Tottenham, more than they have vs any other opponent. It’s also the most goals Spurs have conceded against a side, while they’ve only lost more against Manchester United (39).
Tottenham Hotspur were unbeaten in their first four Premier League London derbies under Ange Postecoglou (W2 D2) but have lost seven of their last 13 (W4 D2). Five of their six London derby wins under the Australian have been at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, however.
Chelsea have won five of their seven games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in all competitions (D1 L1), the most wins any visiting side has picked up at the ground since Spurs moved there in 2019.
Tottenham have kept just one clean sheet in their last 22 Premier League home games (4-0 v Everton this season), a run which started with a 4-1 loss against Chelsea last November. Indeed, since the start of November 2023 no side currently in England’s top four tiers have recorded fewer home league shutouts than Spurs.
Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou has lost each of his two league games against Chelsea but has only lost his first three top-flight league meetings with three clubs: Adelaide City (1996-97) and Sydney United (1996-97) when he was South Melbourne manager and also against FC Tokyo (2018-19) when he was at Yokohama F. Marinos.
Nicolas Jackson has scored four goals in his two Premier League games for Chelsea against Tottenham, netting a hat-trick in this exact fixture last season.
Tottenham’s Brennan Johnson has scored three goals across his last five home appearances in the Premier League, more than across his previous 24 outings at home in the competition for Spurs and Nottingham Forest (2 goals).
Among teams he has played 1,000+ minutes against, Tottenham forward Son Heung-Min’s worst minutes per goal rate in the Premier League is against Chelsea, netting just twice in 16 appearances and 1,061 minutes of action versus the Blues (531 mins per goal).Â
