Fulham vs Manchester United prediction
English Premier League action resumes this weekend as Man United travel to face Fulham at Craven Cottage. Manchester United’s woeful start to the season continued on Wednesday night as they bowed of the EFL Cup following a 3-0 loss to Newcastle at Old Trafford. That loss came after a 3-0 defeat at home to rival Man City in last weekend’s Manchester derby. In that tie, United suffered their 5th league loss of the season, just 4 losses away from the 9 defeats they incurred the whole of last season, leaving them 10th on the log. With this poor run and the seeming lack of confidence amongst the players, there is a huge pressure on Ten Haag to turn things around as quickly as possible. In this fixture, the Red Devils will be looking for a 2nd straight PL win away from home, having beaten Sheffield 2-1 in their last game on the road.
For Fulham, this home tie is coming on the back of a 3-1 win over Ipswich Town. That victory gave the Cottagers a ticket to the EFL Cup quarter final for the first time since 2004/05 season. In fact, the London side had reached the last 8 of the tournament in 1967-68, 1970-71, 1999-00, 2000-01 and 2004-05 but lost at that stage on every occasion and have never made the semi-finals. Meanwhile on Saturday, their attention will shift to the EPL where they will hope to further compound Man United’s woes. However, Marco Silva’s men face a daunting task as Fulham have not won any of their last 15 meetings against Man United, a run stretching back to December 2009.
Certainly, Erik Ten Haag is desperate to get his side back to winning ways, following what has been the club’s worst run of form since the 1960s. We expect this desperation to influence his player selection, tactics and entire approach to the game. Also, Fulham will be looking for a first PL win over Man United since 2009 and a first league win since beating Sheffield on October 7th. Therefore, for our Fulham Vs Manchester United prediction, we expect an explosive game with at least 10 corners played.

Main tip: Over 9.5 Corners
Our Fulham vs Man United predictions
According to the statistics and the odds of the bookmakers, we suggest the following tips:
Prediction 1: Over 9.5 Corners
Man United are going through the worst of times having lost eight of their opening 15 games for the first time since the 1962-63 season. In fact, in their last 2 games at Old Trafford, United conceded 3 goals each, meaning they have lost consecutive home matches by 3 goals each for the first time since 1962. As expected, United will be looking to turn this around quickly to keep alive any hope of challenging for the title this season. We believe this desire would propel Ten Haag’s men to go all out and produce a thrilling game at Craven Cottage. To this end, we expect at least 10 corners to be played here.

Prediction 3: DC X2 & BTTS
Man United head into this tie on the back of a good record against Fulham. In fact, the Red Devils’ last win in London came at Craven Cottage in a 2-1 win last November. Also, in their last 15 meetings against Fulham, Man United are unbeaten, winning 12 and drawing 3. However, Fulham have also shown they have what it takes to unsettle the United defence. In fact, in each of their last four clashes, the Cottagers have found the back of the net at least once, forcing United to fight back for a win. Therefore, we expect a close game with a win or draw for Man United and both sides scoring.
