Manchester United return to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon with belief restored after a dramatic upturn in results. A turbulent first half of the season threatened to derail their ambitions, but momentum has swung sharply since Michael Carrick took charge, with confidence growing after eye-catching victories over Manchester City and Arsenal.

Fulham arrive in a far stronger position than earlier in the campaign. A period of inconsistency through the autumn has given way to steadier performances, and Marco Silva’s side remain firmly in the conversation for European qualification following a recent climb up the table.

United’s revival has been built around attacking freedom. Goals have flowed consistently, with the Red Devils scoring in each of their last 11 Premier League matches. Defensive solidity has also improved at Old Trafford, where they have conceded just once across their last three league games.

Fulham’s progress, on the other hand, is driven by resilience. After struggling away from home early in the season, they have collected 10 points from their last five Premier League road trips. That improvement has kept them within touching distance of the top four, despite still lacking total consistency.

Manchester United vs Fulham picks and predictions

Recent meetings between these sides have been finely balanced, including a 1–1 draw at Craven Cottage earlier this season.

Fulham have also shown they can compete at Old Trafford, with a Premier League win there in February 2024.

Manchester United arrive with clear attacking momentum, having scored in each of their last 11 Premier League matches and beaten both Manchester City and Arsenal in successive outings.

Bruno Fernandes remains central to that run, while Matheus Cunha’s increasing threat following a goal at the Emirates will be key following Patrick Dorgu’s injury.

United’s recent home defensive record also stands out. They have conceded just once in their last three league games at Old Trafford, suggesting Fulham may need to be clinical if opportunities arise.
