Fulham hosts Manchester United at Craven Cottage on Sunday, August 24, 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 15:30 UTC. This Premier League fixture comes early in the 2025/26 season, with Fulham ranked 10th and Manchester United sitting 15th prior to kick-off[2]. The historical head-to-head heavily favors Manchester United, who have won 58 out of 94 league meetings; Fulham have only managed 16 victories[1].

Manchester United are looking to rebound after a narrow 1-0 defeat against Arsenal in their opener, a match noted for a generally strong performance but lacking in finishing[3]. The Red Devils are seeking their first points under manager Ruben Amorim. Fulham, meanwhile, are buoyed by a dramatic late equalizer to draw 1-1 away to Brighton, continuing their inconsistent but resilient start to the season[3].

Recent history favors United as well: Fulham have only beaten United once in the last 19 Premier League encounters, a 2-1 win away in February 2024[1]. Manchester United have also won on each of their last eight Premier League trips to Fulham—a record they could extend to nine with another victory. However, their general performance away to London teams has been patchy, aside from wins over Fulham[1].

Team news ahead of the match notes that Benjamin Šeško is expected to feature again for United after his debut, while Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha are among the attacking players to watch[5]. Fulham will look to continue leveraging Rodrigo Muniz, who netted their stoppage-time goal last weekend[3].

Predicted lineups and key stats, such as ball possession, shots, and set pieces, will be updated closer to kickoff. Sofascore and FotMob will provide live updates, lineups, and in-game statistics as the match unfolds[2][4].

Predictions from the press favor Manchester United to win, with suggestions of a 2-1 away victory, but note that Fulham could threaten if they maintain their home form[1]. Chris Sutton, on the other hand, calls it a tricky fixture to predict and opts for a 1-1 draw, citing the unpredictability of both sides so far this season[5].
