Fulham vs Manchester United

Fulham welcome Manchester United to Craven Cottage for an English Premier League fixture, with both teams seeking their first win of the season.

The Red Devils showed some promise in their opening game and also boast a fine record in this fixture. They should have the upper hand against the hosts, who were unconvincing last weekend.

Fulham News

Fulham come into this clash off the back of a 1-1 draw at Brighton in their opening fixture. They fell behind just after the restart and needed a Rodrigo Muniz effort deep into injury time to salvage a point.

While manager Marco Silva will be pleased with the point, the result continues a poor run from last season as Fulham are winless in four of their last five Premier League matches. They have also lost four of their last five matches at Craven Cottage.

Fulham remain shaky at the back and are without a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in eight matches on this run, while six of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Manchester United News

Manchester United suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal in their opening fixture of the season. They fell behind early in the first half but failed to find a way back into the contest despite creating several scoring opportunities.

Manager Ruben Amorim will be disappointed with that result as Manchester United’s performance deserved something. New signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha also caught the eye and will be hoping for better composure in front of goal on Sunday.

Benjamin Sesko could earn his first start and provide a focus for United's attack, which has scored in four of the last five matches across all competitions. Three of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals, while they are without a clean sheet in all five matches.

Head to Head

Manchester United have nine wins and two draws, while Fulham have picked up just one victory from the last 12 matches. The visitors have won the last five away meetings and claimed a 1-0 victory in last season's clash at Craven Cottage.

Verdict

Fulham v Man Utd

Manchester United and Fulham have quality going forward, but are unconvincing at the back, and both teams could be set to score here. With three of the visitors’ last five matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat could be considered.

The Red Devils will be keen to build on their promising performance against Arsenal. They also seem to always do well at Craven Cottage and should come out on top in Sunday’s clash.
