Premier League
Despite some poor performances and disappointing results in the Premier League over the past few seasons, Manchester United have had the upper hand over Fulham in recent meetings. They have won five of the last six encounters, and even more importantly, United are currently on an eight-game winning streak at Craven Cottage.
Fulham team overview
Fulham have established themselves as a solid mid-table team in the Premier League over the past few seasons, with Marco Silva playing a key role in the club’s stabilisation. They finished 11th in the 2024/25 campaign, although for much of the first half of the season they were pushing for a place in Europe. A late equaliser against Brighton in the opening game of the new season is expected to have lifted spirits within the squad, and they should head into Sunday’s matchup with greater confidence.
As for team news, Calvin Bassey and Armando Broja are still recovering from injuries and are not expected to feature on Sunday.

Manchester United team overview
After a dreadful 2024/25 Premier League season, in which Manchester United managed only a 15th-place finish, Ruben Amorim and his staff were hoping for a more positive start to the 2025/26 campaign. However, the Red Devils suffered a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in their opening match of the new season, marking their fourth loss in the last five Premier League games.
In terms of team news, Rasmus Højlund and Victor Lindelöf are the two main absentees for Manchester United heading into this fixture.

Prediction
Long gone are the days when teams feared playing Manchester United. They have severely lacked consistency over the past couple of seasons, making it difficult to predict their results. Despite Fulham’s dismal Premier League record against United—losing eight successive league games at Craven Cottage—there is still a belief they can secure at least a draw this weekend. Ruben Amorim’s side have failed to win any of their last five away league matches, losing four of them, so we expect Fulham not to lose on Sunday (double chance 1X).
Three reasons we expect Double chance x1
- Manchester United are winless in the last 5 Premier League away matches (1D 4L)
- Manchester United’s 1-0 loss to Arsenal on the opening day must have had even more negative impact on their confidence
- Fulham defeated Manchester United in the FA Cup last season, which should have boosted their confidence levels
Main prediction Fulham - Manchester United
Fulham win or draw (1X)
