Fulham vs Manchester United Prediction (20.09.2026)

Alvaro Arbeloa is not starting well at the helm of Fulham. He began with three consecutive losses in the league. In the last round, he at least earned his first point with a goalless draw away at Liverpool. During the week, however, he defeated West Ham 3-2 in the cup tournament. We will see if he can build on that now with a win in the Premier League, where he has lost both home games so far, each with a score of 2-3 against Sunderland and Chelsea.

Michael Carrick had a good first half of the season in the last Premier League campaign. However, this new season is not starting well with only one win from four rounds, which came with a 5-2 victory at home against Ipswich. In the last round, he was denied a valid goal for a 0-1 loss in the derby against Man. City. During the week, there was another disappointment. He led 2-0 against Brighton in the cup tournament but lost 2-3, and Carrick took full responsibility for that after the match. Clean sheets continue to be a rarity for the team, which has conceded exactly two goals in three of its four matches so far in the league.

Both teams are struggling so far, and I find it hard to pick a winner, although expectations remain higher for Man. United. The visitors continue to concede a goal or two. Excluding the last round, Fulham has also conceded quite a few goals so far, so goals at both ends seem like a reasonable option for this match.
