Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Ream, Robinson, and more

Veteran defender Tim Ream has recently returned to his traditional role in the Fulham backline this year and the centerback will now try and lead the Cottagers to an upset win on Saturday at Old Trafford.

Ream and his Fulham teammates face a tricky test at Manchester United on Saturday in English Premier League action. The 36-year-old has started in each of Fulham’s last three matches, most recently logging 76 minutes in a 2-1 home loss to Aston Villa last weekend.

Fulham sits nine points clear of the relegation zone but have struggled for results so far in 2024. Manchester United has won each of its last five matches and overall are unbeaten in its last seven across all competitions.

Ream’s leadership will be crucial if Fulham wants to deliver a top performance at the Theater of Dreams this weekend.

In England, Chris Richards and Crystal Palace host Burnley in a crucial EPL match for both sides.

In Italy, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah and Juventus face Frosinone.

In Spain, Luca De La Torre and Celta Vigo take on Cadiz. Johnny Cardoso and Real Betis host Athletic Bilbao.

Elsewhere, Mark McKenzie and Genk visit Sporting Charleroi. Alex Zendejas and Club America host Cruz Azul. Folarin Balogun and AS Monaco visit Lens. Gabriel Slonina and Eupen host Cercle Brugge. Joe Gyau and Degerfors continue Swedish Cup play.
