Fulham take on the visitors Manchester United in the round 23 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, January 26th at Craven Cottage (London).
Fulham are in their fourth year under manager Marco Silva, who quickly demonstrated his ambitions by winning the Championship in his first season. Since then, Fulham has consistently accumulated enough points to avoid any serious relegation concerns in the Premier League. This season, however, they have a chance to push for European football. Their winter form was particularly impressive, with a nine-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. However, that run ended in a narrow 2-3 loss to West Ham, which was especially disappointing given their performance. They quickly bounced back, securing a convincing 2-0 win over Leicester in their last outing. Fulham’s stability under Silva has been complemented by standout performances from key players like João Palhinha and Willian, whose leadership and creativity have been crucial.

Manchester United keep fans guessing, mostly opposing fans. The "Red Devils" still have a chance to replicate their late-season success from 2024. Back then, a disastrous campaign in both the Champions League and Premier League was salvaged by a dramatic FA Cup victory. This year, they’ve already made headlines in the FA Cup by eliminating Arsenal in a penalty shootout, despite playing much of the match with ten men. They’ve also ensured Europa League participation after narrowly defeating Rangers, thanks to a stoppage-time goal. However, in the Premier League, United’s struggles persist under both Erik ten Hag and new coach Ruben Amorim, with the team languishing in the lower half of the table. Even Southampton, the league's bottom side, led them until the 82nd minute before Amad Diallo’s late hat-trick secured a win. In their last match, individual errors, including another blunder from Onana, led to a 1-3 loss to Brighton. Despite their struggles, United’s attacking talent, including Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo, remains capable of producing moments of brilliance, though consistency is sorely lacking.
After four consecutive defeats to United, the "Cottagers" finally managed a victory in February 2024. However, in the early stages of this season, Joshua Zirkzee's late goal secured a narrow win for the "Red Devils." Fulham have finally earned the right to be considered favorites in this matchup, and deservedly so. They should capitalize on United’s ongoing struggles and claim a home victory.
Prediction for the match: Fulham to win.
