Fulham
Fulham Boss Chris Coleman will give top scorer, Luis Boa Morte, until the 11th hour to prove he has recovered from the injury which ruled him out of Saturday's 0-0 home draw with Wolves.
The Portuguese winger was sorely missed but still has a tender hamstring and could well be absent again against United.
"It's possible Boa could play but he'll have to improve over the next 24 hours," Coleman added.
"We lacked penetration and pace without him on Saturday and were a bit sloppy.
"In the Premiership you need players who can produce something out of nothing and Boa's one of them."
Forward Facundo Sava (shoulder) is still sidelined, while midfielder Sean Davis will step up his return from a knee injury in the reserves tonight - so is not expected to feature against Newcastle.
