Fulham and Manchester United are both chasing their first win of the season as they meet at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
Fulham began their campaign with a solid away draw at Brighton. In contrast, Manchester United are already under pressure after an opening-day defeat to Arsenal.
The fixture has been dominated by the visitors in recent years, with United having won the last five league meetings. However, Marco Silva’s resilient Fulham side will be confident of exploiting any vulnerabilities in a transitional Manchester United team.

Team News
Fulham
Marco Silva has been boosted by the potential return of left-backs Antonee Robinson and Ryan Sessegnon, who have returned to training and face late fitness tests. However, the manager praised Calvin Bassey’s performance filling in last week, giving him a selection dilemma. After impressing from the bench, Rodrigo Muniz and Emile Smith Rowe are both pushing for starts.
All together on Sunday. ✊

Manchester United
Rúben Amorim has confirmed he will be without Lisandro Martínez and Noussair Mazraoui again, but the rest of his squad is “fit and ready to play”.
The main question is in goal, where Andre Onana is available again after injury. Amorim remained coy on whether he would replace Altay Bayındır. In attack, Benjamin Šeško is pushing for his first start.
