Fulham vs Manchester United prediction

Fulham welcome Manchester United to Craven Cottage looking to secure their first Premier League victory of the campaign. The hosts sit 18th in the standings with just one point from four matches, having suffered back-to-back home defeats while conceding six goals across those two fixtures. Despite their defensive vulnerabilities at home, Fulham have averaged two goals scored per match on their own ground.

Manchester United have experienced a mixed opening to their season, collecting four points from four league outings to sit in 13th place. While they are yet to win on the road in the league with one draw and one defeat, their attack has remained productive, led by Bruno Fernandes who has scored three league goals. The visitors head into this clash dealing with several defensive absences, including Matthijs de Ligt and Manuel Ugarte.

Historical head-to-head records heavily favour the visitors. Across the last ten meetings in all competitions, Manchester United have claimed seven victories and suffered only one defeat, including three wins and a draw from their last four trips to Craven Cottage. Given Fulham's winless start in the league and United's strong head-to-head record, the visitors appear well positioned to take something from this encounter.
