TEAMS PREVIEW

Fulham FC Preview

Marco Silva's side heads into the clash with Manchester United fueled by momentum, sitting just five points off the top five and eager to close the gap. And they  should fancy their chances against Manchester United, given their solid form and their opponents' struggles. 

They've impressed against top-half teams, securing points against Chelsea (2-1), Liverpool (2-2), Arsenal (1-1), Bournemouth (2-2), and Brighton (3-1). However, inconsistency against bottom-half sides—such as draws with Ipswich (2-2) and Southampton (0-0), and a loss to West Ham (2-3)—remains their biggest challenge. Thus, more so why they can't take the struggling Manchester United lightly. 

Fulham's success this season owes much to Harry Wilson, who has been a creative force up front. Since the start of the year, he's created 14 chances in the Premier League—more than any other Fulham player. Impressively, Wilson has crafted at least three chances in each of his three league games in 2025, a feat he only managed three times in his first 110 appearances between 2014 and 2019.

Reiss Nelson's return to training is a welcome boost for Fulham, though this match may come too soon for him. Meanwhile, Kenny Tete remains sidelined, with his return expected between late March and early April.

Fulham Probable XI - Leno (GK); Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Traore; Jimenez

Manchester United FC Preview

Manchester United began their 2024/25 Premier League campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Fulham at Old Trafford, hinting at a promising season ahead. However, while the Red Devils' fortunes quickly spiraled downward, Fulham took that defeat in stride and soared, flipping the script in style. Now, United faces Fulham once again, hoping to turn the tables and script their own redemption.

Rúben Amorim’s reputation for never losing more than six league games in a season is under threat, as Manchester United has already hit that mark in just 11 matches. The root of their struggles lies in dreadful starts. Since Amorim's arrival, United has conceded first in eight of their last nine Premier League games, the worst record in the league alongside Southampton. His tactical brilliance is now being tested by this recurring issue.

Manchester United’s midweek victory over Rangers came at a defensive price, with Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro both failing to last the distance and Amorim could not confirm their availability for Sunday's match. Meanwhile, Victor Lindelof is back in training, and Noussair Mazraoui is expected to feature after being rested for the Europa League clash. 

Manchester United Probable XI - Onana(GK); Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez; Diallo, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund

FULHAM FC vs MANCHESTER UNITED FC
Winning Prediction

When these two last met, Manchester United were the clear favourites, but the tables have turned. Now, Fulham enter the match as the clear front-runners, with their recent form and momentum giving them the upper hand. 

Despite Fulham’s strong form, they’ve only beaten Manchester United once in their last 18 Premier League meetings. Adding to United’s confidence, they've remained unbeaten in their last eight visits to Craven Cottage, making this a tricky matchup for the Cottagers. History is on the Red Devils' side.  

As far as odds from various betting sites are concerned, Fulham are favourites for the clash. The Cottagers are touted to win the match with odds of 2.20 to United’s 3.30 and odds of a draw of 3.40.

We predict a Draw (2-2)
