Prediction: Man Utd 2-1 Fulham
This fixture pits two teams in excellent form against each other, with Manchester United looking to extend their impressive run under Michael Carrick. The Red Devils come into this game with significant momentum, having surged into the top four and remaining unbeaten in their last six league games, the longest active run in the division. Their 3-2 comeback win against Arsenal last weekend was a testament to their newfound resilience and attacking threat. United's playing style is characterised by creating long shot opportunities, scoring chances through individual skill, and effectively attacking down the wings. They also frequently attempt through balls and take a lot of shots, which will test Fulham's defence.
Fulham arrive at Old Trafford full of confidence after Harry Wilson's late winner against Brighton propelled them to their best-ever run in the Premier League, accumulating 17 points from their last eight matches. The Cottagers are strong at attacking down the wings and creating long shot opportunities, but they do show weaknesses in avoiding offsides and defending against through balls, which could be exploited by United's direct play. Their tendency to concede shortly after the break is also a concern against a United side that consistently raises their tempo in the second half.
While Fulham are certainly capable of competing, United's home advantage, their dominant historical record against the Cottagers, and their consistent second-half performances give them the edge. The hosts' ability to generate scoring chances and their current scoring streak suggest they will find the net, while Fulham's own attacking strengths, particularly from set-pieces, indicate they could breach United's defence, which has shown a tendency to concede.

Given Manchester United's recent goal-scoring form, netting at least two goals in their last three Premier League matches, and their league-high record of both teams scoring in 17 of their 23 matches this season, backing both teams to score looks a strong proposition. Fulham, despite some struggles on the road, have proven they can find the net, and their increased efficiency from set-pieces, combined with United's weakness in defending counter-attacks, suggests they will pose a threat. The predicted scoreline of 2-1 also aligns perfectly with both teams finding the back of the net.
