Fulham host Manchester United in a Premier League game where neither side has won in the league yet this season. Fulham have just one point from four matches and sit 18th, while Manchester United have collected four points from four matches and are 13th, so both teams need the three points from this game just as much. Fulham just won in the League Cup 3-2 in midweek, but in the league they have not beaten anyone yet. In four matches they have scored 4 and conceded 7, with the defence clearly a problem. Manchester United, meanwhile, just lost in the League Cup 2-3, following a 0-1 league defeat, making it two losses in a row. The attack still carries a threat but the consistency has gone. The pattern of play should see Fulham with slightly more of the ball, based on the stat of 59% average possession per game over their last 10 matches, but Manchester United have a higher rate of shots on target. If Fulham get the opening goal the game will open up and they will pile on the pressure, but if Manchester United score first, Fulham will have to come out and trade blows, which will make the game wide open immediately.
