In a rematch of the opening game of the 2024-25 Premier League season, Fulham and Manchester United will meet at Craven Cottage this Sunday evening. Man Utd won the first leg 1-0 at Old Trafford. However, the Cottagers go into the weekend's match with a seven-point advantage over their opponents.
Latest Fulham vs MU squad information
Manchester United's midweek win over Rangers came at a cost, with Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro both forced off early through injury. Amorim was reluctant to confirm their availability at his pre-match press conference. Mason Mount, Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw are also out, while Victor Lindelof has returned to training. Noussair Mazraoui is expected to feature after being rested in the Europa League win. However, Mazraoui's preferred position at right-back could change and he could be forced to play in the centre of a three-man defence if De Ligt and Yoro fail to recover. Andre Onana will also start in place of Altay Bayindir, who has been criticised for making three errors leading to goals this season.
For Fulham, Kenny Tete and Reiss Nelson will continue to be absent due to injury. Midfielder Sasa Lukic is facing the risk of suspension, as just one more yellow card will see him banned for 2 matches and unable to participate in the matches against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. Coach Marco Silva still has many options to replace in this position, possibly Tom Cairney, Harrison Reed and young talent Josh King. However, the change may come in the striker line, where Traore is very determined to start after replacing Alex Iwobi in the second half of the recent match against Leicester.
Latest expected lineup for Fulham vs MU
Fulham:
Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Traore; Jimenez
Manchester United:
Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez; Diallo, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
Latest Fulham vs MU football review
The win over Fulham, where Joshua Zirkzee scored on his Premier League debut, is now a thing of the past for United. The delay in sacking Erik ten Hag and hiring Ruben Amorim has not yielded much fruit.
The 3-1 loss to Brighton marked United's 10th defeat of the season, while Amorim also showed his inexperience when facing coaches of his age. Going into this match, Man United are in 13th place and are at risk of dropping to 15th if they do not get a favorable result, they are still closer to the relegation zone than the top 7 in the table. Coach Amorim could have to endure a sad record if the Red Devils lose this weekend. However, the Old Trafford team received a big boost on Thursday when Bruno Fernandes shone against Rangers in the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Fulham, who are also hoping to qualify for the Europa League next season, just had a win against Van Nistelrooy's Leicester. With goals from Emile Smith Rowe and Adama Traore, Fulham had their first win in the Premier League 2025, after a defeat to West Ham and a draw with Ipswich. Including the defeat to West Ham, this was only their second defeat in 11 matches in all competitions and helped them secure a position in the top half of the table. With such good form, Fulham have the right to aim for 7th place Bournemouth. Thanks to the efforts of Smith Rowe and Traore, Fulham have had a streak of 5 matches scoring 2 or more goals in the Premier League, however the draws do not show the ability of the home team to take all 3 points as they have drawn in their last 4 home matches in the Premier League. In the history of confrontation, Fulham is completely at a disadvantage against the Red Devils, when Man United has had a series of 7 consecutive wins when traveling to Craven Cottage. The last time Fulham defeated this opponent was in 2009.
