Fulham Seek Back-to-Back Wins as Manchester United Visit Craven Cottage
After a routine 2-0 victory over Leicester last week, Fulham will be looking to secure their first set of back-to-back Premier League wins since November as they host Manchester United at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva’s side has been showing signs of solid form but remains inconsistent, which has kept them from making a serious push for European spots. On paper, this fixture presents a tough challenge, especially since Fulham have only managed to win one of the last 18 Premier League meetings against United (with three draws and 14 defeats).
Despite this historical record, Fulham has proven to be a tough side to beat at home. They’ve managed to avoid defeat in their last five league games at Craven Cottage, although four of those have ended in draws. This run of draws is a first for Fulham in the Premier League, and Silva will be hoping to improve on that statistic as his team aims for a more decisive result this time around. With a solid seven-point advantage over United in the league, Fulham will be eager to extend their lead, but Silva also knows his team’s record against United has been less than impressive, with just three wins, one draw, and eight defeats in their encounters.
Fulham will certainly have more rest heading into this match compared to their visitors. Manchester United played on Thursday in European action, securing a dramatic 2-1 win over Rangers, thanks to a last-minute goal from Bruno Fernandes. That result made it three wins from four matches across all competitions, although the squad is still feeling the pressure following a 3-1 defeat to Brighton in the Premier League last week. The defeat left United in a precarious position, and the pressure remains on them to pick up points quickly.
Adding to the uncertainty surrounding United, reports have surfaced suggesting that Alejandro Garnacho could be on his way out of the club to help meet Premier League financial regulations. That news is likely to weigh heavily on manager Ruben Amorim, who will be hoping that the first whistle of the game brings some relief. However, that sense of calm might not last long, as United’s recent form at Fulham hasn’t been particularly favorable. Despite winning each of their last seven league visits to Craven Cottage, United have struggled in recent games, having conceded first in eight of their last nine league matches.
One area United will need to address quickly is their tendency to concede early. However, given their ability to bounce back, especially in matches against teams like Fulham, a comeback cannot be ruled out. Despite their defensive frailties, United’s attack, led by the experienced Bruno Fernandes, can still cause plenty of problems for the hosts. Fernandes, in particular, will be one to watch after his important goal in the European tie. With four career goals against Fulham, including one that was decisive in last season’s corresponding fixture, he will be determined to add to his tally.
For Fulham, midfielder Saša Lukić will be a player to keep an eye on. Lukić is just one yellow card away from reaching ten for the season, a mark that only two Fulham players have previously hit in a single Premier League campaign. His combative style in midfield could prove crucial in disrupting United’s rhythm, and his presence will be key as Fulham look to control the tempo of the game.
The hot stat heading into this match suggests that United’s struggles in recent weeks are more than just a blip. They’ve lost six of their last nine Premier League games, with only two wins and one draw during that stretch. This form is unusual for a club of United’s stature, and if they fail to pick up points here, it would mark a run of seven defeats in ten games, something that has never occurred in the Premier League era.
In what promises to be an intriguing encounter, Fulham will be hoping to build on their recent home form, while Manchester United will be desperate to bounce back from their disappointing recent results. Both teams have something to prove, and with a mixture of attacking flair and defensive frailties, this match could go in many directions. The stage is set for a captivating contest at Craven Cottage, where Fulham will aim to extend their advantage over United, and the Red Devils will fight to regain their footing in the Premier League.
