Match Details: February 1st, 2026 | Old Trafford | Premier League | 14:00 GMT

As the Premier League action continues, a crucial encounter is set to take place at Old Trafford on Sunday. Manchester United will be hosting Fulham in a match that promises to be an intriguing contest between two teams with a history of closely contested matches.

Recent outings between these sides have been keenly contested, with the last Premier League meeting ending in a draw. The head-to-head record shows a mix of outcomes,, with neither team able to assert consistent dominance over the other. The FA Cup has also seen these teams clash, with Manchester United edging out a win in their most recent cup meeting.

Manchester United will be looking to leverage their home advantage and assert dominance over Fulham. Their recent form has been a mixed bag, with moments of brilliance interspersed with less convincing outings. However, the home crowd and familiarity of Old Trafford are likely to spur them on.

Fulham will be seeking to cause an upset and take points from this match. Their away form has been a concern, but they have shown the ability to compete with top-tier teams and secure unexpected results. The visitors will need to be at the top of their game and capitalise on any mistakes from the home team.

Given the projected winner is Manchester United, and considering the double chance and win probabilities, the home team seems to have a slight edge. Nevertheless, this will be a closely contested match and not one to take lightly.

As the two teams prepare to face each other, the stage is set for a compelling Premier League encounter. The question remains how both teams will approach this fixture and whether the home team can assert their dominance or if the visitors can capitalise on any mistakes to secure a favourable outcome.

In the next matchup of this season's Premier League, an in-form Manchester United side—compared to last season—faces off against a Fulham side that had a poor start to the season but is now on the cusp of a historic European qualification.

Both sides will be hoping for three points from this game to continue their European hopes.
