Man Utd vs Fulham Form and Head to Head
The Red Devils come into this fixture on the back of a thrilling 3-2 away victory against Arsenal, a result that underscored their recent resurgence. That win extends Manchester United’s impressive run, as they are currently undefeated in their last six Premier League matches, a streak that has seen them climb to the top of the overall form table for the last six games. Furthermore, the home side has found their attacking rhythm, scoring at least two goals in each of their last three Premier League outings.
Fulham also arrive with confidence, having secured a 2-1 home win against Brighton in their most recent league fixture. The Cottagers have been in formidable shape themselves, sitting third in the overall form table for the last six matches. However, their away performances have seen a slight dip, with the visitors scoring once or fewer in each of their last four league trips.
The last meeting between these two sides, in August 2025, ended in a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage. Looking further back, Manchester United have historically dominated this fixture. They are undefeated in an astonishing 22 of their last 23 matches against Fulham across all competitions. Over the last six encounters, United have secured four victories (including one via penalties in the FA Cup), with one match ending in a draw and Fulham managing a single win. Interestingly, four of the last six meetings between these teams have seen fewer than 2.5 goals scored.

Man Utd vs Fulham Team News
Manchester United will be without several key players for this clash. Matthijs de Ligt, Patrick Dorgu, and Joshua Zirkzee are all sidelined due to injury. The absence of Dorgu, in particular, is a blow, as he has been a significant creative force for United. However, the return to form of Bryan Mbeumo, who has scored in both matches since his AFCON return, provides a potent attacking threat. Manager Michael Carrick is expected to stick with his favoured 4-2-3-1 formation.
Fulham also have their own injury concerns, with Rodrigo Muniz, Kenny Tete, and Saša Lukić all unavailable. Raúl Jiménez is set to lead the line in Muniz's absence, supported by Harry Wilson and Emile Smith Rowe. Harry Wilson has been instrumental in Fulham's recent form, with ten goal involvements in his last eleven league appearances, though he has never scored against United.

Man Utd vs Fulham Match Prediction
This fixture sees two in-form sides face off, but Manchester United’s momentum and strong home record at Old Trafford give them the edge. Under Michael Carrick, United have improved midfield control, dominate second halves, and create chances through long shots, wing play, and individual skill.
Fulham, despite their best Premier League run, remain vulnerable away from home, especially to through balls and aerial threats. Both teams have scored in 17 of 23 league games this season, suggesting a competitive clash. While their head-to-head history leans under 2.5 goals, current attacking form points to a more open game, with United likely to come out on top.
Prediction: Man Utd 2-1 Fulham

Man Utd Win
United have dominated Fulham historically, going unbeaten in 22 of their last 23 meetings across all competitions. They've also won their last six Premier League matches while scoring 2+ goals in each of their previous three league outings. At Old Trafford, the Red Devils should extend that strong run and claim all three points.
Bruno Fernandes – Anytime Goalscorer
Bruno Fernandes has scored or assisted in 7 of his last 10 games, and as the league's top assist maker, his more advanced role boosts his goal threat significantly. He's United's penalty taker too, and Fulham have conceded the third-most spot-kicks in the Premier League this season. With 8 goals already, Bruno remains a constant danger from all ranges.
Bruno Fernandes Over 0.5 Assists
The United captain leads the Premier League in assists this term (averaging 0.9 per 90) and thrives creating for teammates like Mbeumo and Cunha from central pockets. He's cleared this line in 7 of his last 10 appearances, including both prior meetings with Fulham, exploiting their deep midfield with vision and set-piece delivery.
