TEAMS PREVIEW

Manchester United FC Preview

Michael Carrick has made a dream start to his second stint in the Old Trafford dugout, winning both matches since replacing Ruben Amorim and doing so against Manchester City and Arsenal. While the City win came from disciplined, low-possession football, United had to dig far deeper against the Gunners. 

After Arsenal clawed back to 2-2, Matheus Cunha struck an 87th-minute winner to seal a dramatic victory and end the Gunners’ unbeaten home record in the league. The win also propelled United up the table, leapfrogging Liverpool into fourth and putting them a point clear of Chelsea.

Stats that matter 

1. The Red Devils have remained unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches (3W 3D).
2. So far in the season, United have won more matches (six) against top-half teams than they have against bottom-half teams (four).
3. Manchester United are unbeaten in their last five home league games. 

Team News 

Injury troubles continue for United as Patrick Dorgu is set for a spell out with a hamstring injury picked up against Arsenal, adding to the absences of Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt.

Manchester United  Probable XI - Lammens (GK); Martinez, Maguire, Shaw, Dalot (Defenders); Casemiro, Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes (Midfielders); Diallo, Mbeumo, Cunha (Forwards)

Fulham FC Preview

While United’s win was tense, Fulham’s weekend was pure drama. After falling behind early, the Cottagers roared back through Samuel Chukwueze before Harry Wilson—having a season to remember—curled home a 90+2’ free-kick winner. The Welshman’s late heroics have become a theme, and it’s a big reason Fulham now sit just three points off the top five.

That said, the win came at Craven Cottage—where Fulham have thrived with 23 points—while life on the road has been tougher, yielding just 11. That said, 10 of those 11 have come in the last five outings, which should give Marco Silva’s men some belief heading into Old Trafford.

Stats that matter 

1. Since the start of November, only Erling Haaland (12) has had more Premier League goal involvements than Fulham’s Wilson (11 – seven goals, four assists).
2. No side has had more Premier League goals scored by substitutes since the start of last season than Fulham (24 – level with Brighton).
3. Fulham have remained unbeaten in seven of their last eight games across competitions. 

Team News 

Apart from the long-term absentees and Sasa Lukic’s setback, Marco Silva has a clean bill of health with no fresh injuries or suspensions to worry about.

Fulham Probable XI - Leno (GK); Cuenca, Andersen, Robinson, Castagne, Berge, Iwobi, Wilson, Smith Smith-Rowe, Kevin, Jimenez.

MANCHESTER UNITED FC vs FULHAM FC
Winning Prediction

Man United will fancy their chances here, but not just due to their current form, but also because they’ve won four of their last six meetings with Fulham. Even so, the Cottagers can take encouragement from the 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture. 

Notably, the last four clashes between these sides have all gone under 2.5 goals, highlighting how tight this matchup has been of late. A draw feels very possible, but with Carrick pushing for momentum, we’re backing United to edge it.
