Manchester United have lost just one of their last 20 Premier League games against Fulham (W15 D4), going down 2-1 at Old Trafford in February 2024.

Following a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage in August, Fulham are looking to avoid defeat in both Premier League matches with Manchester United for the first time since 2003-04 (W1 D1).

Manchester United have won both Premier League matches under Michael Carrick this season and a win here would see Carrick (in his current spell) equal Rúben Amorim’s longest winning run in his 47-game tenure (three in October 2025).

Fulham have earned as many points in their last eight Premier League games (17 – W5 D2 L1) as they managed in their first 15 of the season beforehand (W5 D2 L8). Indeed, it’s the most points the Cottagers have ever amassed over any run of eight matches within a single season in the competition.

Manchester United are unbeaten in six Premier League games (W3 D3) and haven’t had a longer unbeaten streak since a run of eight in January and February 2022 under Ralf Rangnick. It is the longest current ongoing unbeaten run of any side.

Only three of Fulham’s first 15 Premier League goals this season were scored via set pieces (20%) but since the start of December only two sides have netted more set piece goals than the Cottagers (7), with that equating to 41% of their goals in that time (7/17).

Including his first spell in 2021, Man Utd manager Michael Carrick has won 10 points in four Premier League matches (W3 D1). Only four English managers have won 13+ points in their first five games – Frank Clark in 1994 (13), Roy Hodgson in 1997 (13), Tim Sherwood in 2013-14 (13) and Craig Shakespeare in 2017 (15).

Harry Wilson has been involved in 10 goals in his last 11 Premier League appearances for Fulham (6 goals, 4 assists). Wilson has scored or assisted every 141 minutes for the Cottagers in 2025-26, the best ratio by a Welshman in a season (min. 1,000 minutes) since Aaron Ramsey in 2018-19 for Arsenal (goal/assist every 136 minutes).

Patrick Dorgu has been involved in five goals in his last seven Premier League appearances for Manchester United (3 goals, 2 assists). Since the first game in that run on 21 December, only two players have been involved in more goals, while Dorgu ranks joint top for chances created (14), joint second for possession won (43) and top for fouls won (18).

In the last two seasons, only Mohamed Salah (55) and Erling Haaland (49) have had a hand in more Premier League goals than Bryan Mbeumo (28 goals, 8 assists). Man Utd won just 20% of games while Mbeumo was at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations this season (P5 W1 D3 L1), compared to 50% with the Cameroonian in the starting XI (P18 W9 D5 L4).
