Manchester United vs Fulham

Michael Carrick returns to the Manchester United squad for Sunday's Premier League encounter with Fulham at Old Trafford.

Carrick missed Wednesday's hammering of AC Milan through suspension but is set to replace Paul Scholes, who followed up his goalscoring exploits at Wolves with an outstanding contribution in midweek.

Ryan Giggs is still a week away from a return after breaking his arm last month, while Ritchie De Laet is set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a leg injury in the reserve team encounter with Manchester City.

Fulham forward Clint Dempsey could be in line to make his first start for two months.

Dempsey came off the bench to make his comeback from a serious knee injury against Juventus on Thursday night.

Captain Danny Murphy faces a fitness test on a groin injury while Nicky Shorey, who was cup tied for the Juventus match, could replace Paul Konchesky at left-back.

Teams:

Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Foster, Neville, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Park, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson, Obertan, Nani, Rooney, Berbatov, Diouf.

Toure had to settle for a place on the bench in the victory over Chelsea in the club's last outing.

Emmanuel Adebayor is absent through suspension while Martin Petrov is injured as City aim to continue their push for a top four place.

Sunderland will be without suspended skipper Lorik Cana.

The Albania international picked up his 10th booking of the season in Tuesday night's 4-0 win over Bolton and will sit out the City game and Birmingham's visit to the Stadium of Light next weekend.

Lee Cattermole is battling to shake off a hamstring problem, while Kieran Richardson (calf) and Jordan Henderson (ankle) are struggling.

Andy Reid (hamstring) will not make the game, but David Meyler is available again after completing a three-match ban.
