The former United man will line up against his previous employers on Saturday, Manchester United and Fulham switch the focus away from the Premier League with a fourth-round FA Cup tie at Old Trafford.
He was joint top-scorer with 20 goals in the 2010-11 season, and has hit the net nine times for Fulham since his summer move to south-west London.
There’s no denying that Berbatov’s style of play sometimes attracts criticism and he spent plenty of time on the substitutes' bench in his last months at United but he’s still able to find the net regularly.
The stats show that Berbatov has a shot every 34 minutes in the Premier League this season and that 41 per cent of them are on target.
That the Bulgarian hits the back of the net once in every seven shots should be a warning to Sir Alex Ferguson’s side not to underestimate him.
United are unbeaten in their last six starts (four wins and one draw) against the Cottagers having higher chances of winning the game and advance to the next round ahead of Fulham who won only one (2-1 away to West Brom) of their last seven league games.
Manchester United defenders needs to be on the lookout for Berbatov.
