After matchday one, Fulham can take heart from their 1–1 draw away at Brighton.

Meanwhile, Manchester United showed signs of improvement in their opening 1–0 home defeat to Arsenal, with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo standing out in attack. United will be eager to build on that performance and claim all three points in their upcoming fixture.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Manchester United Win @ 1.94 - Our team of in-house betting tipsters have predicted a Manchester United Win in this fixture. United have shown signs of improvement last time out, along with the head-to-head record justifies confidence in this selection.
Raul Jimenez (Fulham)
The Mexican striker remains Fulham’s focal point in attack and will be crucial against Manchester United. Jimenez’s aerial ability and hold-up play allow Fulham to build attacks, while his movement inside the box ensures defenders can never switch off. After rediscovering some sharpness last season, he’ll be aiming to test United’s new-look backline and punish any defensive lapses.
Alex Iwobi (Fulham)
Iwobi’s versatility and direct running make him one of Fulham’s most important creative sparks. Operating from midfield, he has the ability to link play and drive at defenders, creating space for those around him. His energy and willingness to press could also prove vital in unsettling United’s rhythm in possession.
Matheus Cunha (Manchester United)
Cunha’s arrival has added flair and unpredictability to United’s front line. Comfortable dropping deep to collect the ball or drifting wide to stretch defences, the Brazilian’s movement opens up spaces for teammates. With Sesko leading the line, Cunha’s link-up play and ability to create chances between the lines will be key to breaking down Fulham’s defensive structure.
Bryan Mbuemo (Manchester United)
Mbuemo provides the pace and directness that United have sometimes lacked on the wings. Dangerous when cutting inside or running in behind, he offers a constant threat in transition. His work rate off the ball also makes him a valuable asset, pressing defenders high and looking to capitalise on mistakes. If given space, he has the ability to change the game with one moment of quality.
