All eyes are on London this Sunday as Fulham welcome Manchester United to Craven Cottage for a 16:30 BST kick-off.
Alvaro Arbeloa's team may hold the home advantage, but they are the underdogs with all UKGC-licensed bookmakers. Will the Cottagers upset the odds to score a first home win over the Red Devils in almost 17 years?
Manchester United took four points from a possible six from this fixture last term, but were held to a frustrating two-goal draw here last August. It wasn't a classic by anyone's standards, but the visitors would gladly accept a win of any description. At this stage, the result matters more than the performance.

Result - Man Utd win
Fulham have just one point on the board from their first four starts.
The locals lost their opening three games before ending goalless at Anfield last Saturday. They're stuck down in the relegation zone alongside Coventry City and Aston Villa. With four goals scored and seven conceded, that's no surprise.
The stats show Fulham haven't performed well in this fixture either, and enter winless in their previous 10. That does little to inspire confidence in the locals, but the deeper you dig, the worse it gets.
Fulham have won just 1 of their last 21 games against Manchester United, losing 16 and ending level 4 times. With Arbeloa's team also suffering the longest winless start to a season in six years, a meeting with United comes at the worst time.
The Red Devils haven't started quite as well as Michael Carrick would've liked, but the away win looks a smart play here, and there's more value than I expected.
An away win trades at 19/20. That's good enough to follow as a single for a decent stake, or you can add it to your Sunday football accumulators, helping to boost the potential returns.
Tip: Man Utd win @ 19/20 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Man Utd beat Fulham at Craven Cottage, you'll beat the bookies and make a profit.
Total goals - Under 3.5
My second recommended bet on Sunday's clash comes from the total goals market. I'm backing Fulham v Man Utd to end with fewer than four goals scored by both teams combined.
Backing under 3.5 goals would've boosted your betting balance in 8 of the previous 10 renewals. When sticking to league matches, it's 9 of 10.
Interestingly, the spare result was a 3-2 win for Man Utd at Old Trafford last time out. Premier League fans may remember three goals were scored after the 85th minute that day.
Let's now look at how both clubs have started the season.
A bet on under 3.5 goals landed in 2 of Fulham's 4 starts, and that's also true of United.
Need one final hint? I've got you covered.
Opta Stats show that Fulham have failed to score in 10 Premier League matches in 2026. That's the club's worst return during a year since 2010.
I expect Fulham's struggles in front of goal to continue. Back this match to give up no more than three goals.
Tip: Under 3.5 goals @ 8/11 (bet365)
Bet explanation: Fulham v Man Utd must finish with fewer than four goals scored by both clubs combined.
Score or assist - Rashford
The third and final prediction from Craven Cottage is for Marcus Rashford to score or provide an assist against Fulham.
The Man Utd number nine, who was on loan at Barcelona last season, has returned to England in great shape. He has created nine chances in the league so far, and that's the joint-best return at the club.
Rashford also sets the standard on touches in the opposition box with 23 so far, and has made more dribbles than any of his teammates.
You can back Rashford to score in the UK capital before a global TV audience, and I'm confident bettors will get a run for their money. However, I'm happy to play the score or assist market to improve our chances of winning.
Rashford scoring a match-winning goal for Man Utd pays the same as the towering attacker, capped 78 times for England, providing an assist for a teammate to slot home.
It doesn't matter whether Man Utd win 1-0 or lose 5-1. All you care about is Marcus having a goal contribution, meaning your bet is live for the entire time he's on the field of play. He played 83 minutes in the Manchester Derby, and 70 against Everton.
Like our bet on Man Utd to win, I expected the odds on Rashford to score or assist to be shorter. You can follow this pick, and then sit back, relax, and enjoy the match knowing you've secured the value.
Tip: Rashford to score or assist @ 11/10 (bet365)
Bet explanation: Your bet wins if Marcus Rashford scores or provides an assist in Sunday's match against Fulham in London. You can follow as a single or add it to your Fulham v Man Utd Bet Builders.
