Story summary

Fulham vs Manchester United: Match Preview

Manchester United visit Fulham on Sunday, September 20, aiming to break a three-game winless streak across all competitions. Manager Michael Carrick faces increasing pressure after an unconvincing start under his permanent leadership since being appointed in the summer.

### Key Points

Team News: Luke Shaw is still recovering from injury but has traveled with the squad and could return for this match. If unavailable, Patrick Dorgu will likely replace him.

Historical Context: United's last league game ended with a draw against Everton followed by a loss to Manchester City in their derby fixture. They were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup midweek by Brighton.

Fulham Situation: Under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa, Fulham has not won a Premier League match yet but recently defeated West Ham in the Carabao Cup third round and drew with Liverpool earlier this month.

### Match Details

Date & Time: Sunday, September 20 at 4:30 PM (BST)
Venue: Craven Cottage
Broadcasting: Available via Paddy Power's live stream

### Betting Offer

Paddy Power is offering a free bet of up to £1 on over 0.5 goals for the match between Fulham and Manchester United, currently priced at odds of 1/200.

Prediction

Manchester United will be keen to secure a victory against a Fulham side that has yet to win under their new manager but remains competitive in cup competitions. With both teams looking to turn around recent negative trends, the match promises to be an exciting encounter.
