Iwobi looking to score for the second time in 12 Premier League games Vs Man United

Alex Iwobi will not only be looking to score his first Premier League goal for his new club, Fulham on Saturday, the Nigerian will also be seeking to net his
second goal in 12 games against Man United in the competition.

Iwobi, 27, scored his first goal against the Red Devils on his 10th attempt when he fired Everton ahead in a 2-1 loss at the Goodison Park a little over a
year ago.

The Nigerian has won just two of the 11 games he has featured against the struggling Old Trafford side and will fancy his and Fulham’s chances at Craven
Cottage Saturday afternoon.

If he plays, it will be his 230th appearance in the competition after making his debut in the competition in October 2015.

Iwobi has scored 17 times and bagged 27 assists in the 229 appearances he has made in the competition.

An assist on Saturday will move him above Yakubu Aiyegbeni in the most assists made by Nigerians in the competition and just one behind Nwankwo Kanu who
holds the record of 29 assists.
