Fulham welcomes Manchester United to Craven Cottage today, August 24, 2025, for their first home game of the season. Both teams are aiming for their first victory of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign, bringing optimism after their initial weekend performances.

Fulham secured a point against Brighton with a late equalizer from Rodrigo Muniz in the 97th minute. Meanwhile, Manchester United, despite a narrow defeat at home against Arsenal, showed promise. Last season, Manchester United won both Premier League encounters against Fulham, including a 1-0 victory at Craven Cottage with a late goal from Lisandro Martinez. Fulham's last home win against Manchester United was in December 2009. However, Fulham had the last laugh by defeating Manchester United on penalties in the FA Cup fifth round.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 4:30 pm BST and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK. Coverage begins at 4 pm BST on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Sports Ultra HDR. Sky Sports subscribers can also stream the match live via the Sky Go app.

Fulham will be missing left-back Antonee Robinson, who is still recovering from knee surgery in May.

Looking at the head-to-head history, Manchester United has dominated recent encounters. Last season, they secured two narrow Premier League victories against Fulham. However, Fulham did manage a victory on penalties in the FA Cup.

Match analysis points to Manchester United's impressive performance against Arsenal, suggesting their attack will become more potent as the season progresses. However, midfield issues remain. Fulham displayed their potential in all three meetings last season, lacking only a cutting edge in attack. This match will test Manchester United's improvements over the summer and whether their performance against Arsenal was a result of raising their game against a top opponent.

Most sources predict Manchester United to win, with a 2-1 scoreline.
