    Fulham vs Manchester United: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

    Fulham vs Manchester United predicted formations

    Fulham host Manchester United at Craven Cottage on Sunday, September 20 (11:30 AM ET / 10:30 AM CT / 8:30 AM PT).

    Fulham will be without the injured Tom Cairney (knee) and could also be missing the doubtful Ryan Sessegnon (groin/hip/pelvic) for the visit of Manchester United. Joshua King, Gonzalo García and César Palacios have carried the home side’s attacking threat between them, while Timothy Castagne and Antonee Robinson add another outlet from the back. Manchester United have no fresh fitness concerns and go into the trip with Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo among the goals, plus Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Šeško leading the line.

      Fulham vs Manchester United Prediction

      This looks tight rather than open. Fulham have lost 3 straight and sit on a -3 goal difference, but they have troubled tougher opposition than this and should find the net at least once. Manchester United’s superior points total and the goal threat of Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo should be enough to see them home 1-2 at Craven Cottage.
