- Fulham come into this match after a dramatic late draw at Brighton.
- Manchester United were edged out 1-0 by Arsenal despite a strong display.
- United have won their last eight Premier League visits to Craven Cottage.
- Marco Silva’s side are aiming to avoid four straight home league defeats.
Fulham’s opening weekend felt like déjà vu: solid structure, flashes of creativity, but once again, they needed a late rescue act. Rodrigo Muniz’s stoppage-time equaliser at Brighton gave Marco Silva’s men a valuable point, though the cracks remain obvious. At home, things look even more concerning. Losses to Chelsea, Everton and Manchester City in the back end of last season have set up an unwanted narrative:Silva has never lost four straight home league games. Can he steady the ship at the Cottage, or will history catch up?
Manchester United’s story is equally complicated. A narrow defeat to Arsenal last Sunday could easily have been a very different tale. Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha looked sharp, but wasted chances and a standout performance from David Raya denied them. Ruben Amorim’s reign hasn’t been smooth: 15 defeats in 28 league matches is a grim record compared to his sparkling numbers at Sporting Lisbon. Still, United fans will cling to the fact that when they’ve lost their opening two league matches before, they’ve bounced back to finish high. Hope, as always, lingers.
One statistic leaps off the page: United have won eight consecutive Premier League games away at Fulham. That’s dominance on a historic level, and they’ve never managed nine against the same opponent before. Yet, recent away form in London tells another story. Just three wins from their last 23 in the capital, all against Fulham, highlights how much they rely on this particular fixture to dig them out of trouble. If Amorim wants to flip the narrative, this is the moment.
Team news adds more intrigue. For United, Lisandro Martinez and Noussair Mazraoui remain out, while Andre Onana’s starting role is still up in the air. Benjamin Sesko is pushing for a place up front after his cameo against Arsenal. Fulham, meanwhile, await updates on Ryan Sessegnon and Antonee Robinson, with Calvin Bassey the likeliest to step in. Up top, Muniz’s last-gasp heroics surely strengthen his case over Raul Jimenez. It’s a clash finely balanced, but with the weight of history tilting toward the Red Devils, don’t be surprised if they edge it once again. This fixture could easily define the early mood for both sides in the Premier League Predictions conversation.
Manchester United may have fallen short against Arsenal, but their display offered more promise than the scoreline suggested. Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha repeatedly stretched the Gunners’ defence, and on another day they would have taken at least a point. What tips the balance here is history: United have won eight straight Premier League matches at Craven Cottage, a streak that reflects not just dominance but comfort in this specific fixture. Fulham, meanwhile, have lost three consecutive league games at home and could be staring down a fourth something Marco Silva has never experienced in his managerial career. Defensively, Fulham looked shaky against Brighton until Muniz’s late heroics saved them. With Benjamin Sesko likely to feature more prominently and United hungry for a response, the Red Devils have both the firepower and the historical edge to edge this contest. Manchester United to win looks the smart pick.
