• Fixture: Fulham vs Manchester United

• Date: Sunday, 24 August 2025

• Kick-off: 16:30 BST

• Venue: Craven Cottage

Fulham kicked off their 2025/26 Premier League campaign with a solid 1-1 draw at Brighton. They'll be looking to use their home advantage here, but they'll need to be more clinical in front of goal. 

Manchester United started the new campaign by losing 1-0 at home to Arsenal. However, United's attack looked bright in the Arsenal game, but just needed to be more clinical in front of goal. 

The key for Fulham will be to keep things tight at the back and hit United on the counter. If they can do that, they can nick a result. However, with Fernandes pulling the strings, United could edge this one. It's going to be a close, hard-fought battle, but United's quality might shine through.

Match Prediction: Fulham 1-2 Manchester United

A 1-1 draw at Brighton was a solid start to their Premier League campaign. They'll need to be solid defensively if they're to get a positive result from this game. The home crowd will be behind them, but they'll need to show more going forward if they're going to pick up maximum points.
