Correct Score Prediction

I am predicting a 1-0 victory for Manchester United. Despite their recent loss, United showed promising defensive solidity against Arsenal. Fulham, while resolute at home, may struggle to break down a well-organized Manchester United side. I believe a moment of individual quality or a set-piece could be the difference, with United's new-look attack just edging it in a tight, low-scoring game.

Team News Fulham

Calvin Bassey with his Fulham teammates, including Super Eagles colleague Alex Iwobi.

Fulham have concerns over the fitness of defenders Antonee Robinson and Ryan Sessegnon. Manager Marco Silva will make a late decision on their availability. Both players missed the season opener, and their absence would be a significant blow to the backline. New signing Jacob Ramsey is expected to be available for selection.
