Fulham vs Manchester United Prediction: Cunha to make difference for visitors

The Premier League continues on Sunday afternoon as Fulham welcome Manchester United to Craven Cottage (16:30 BST, live on Sky Sports Main Event) with both sides still looking for their first three points of the season.

Ruben Amorim's men were narrowly beaten by Arsenal, while Sunday's hosts shared the spoils with Brighton thanks to a late strike from Rodrigo Muniz. Read on for our Fulham vs Manchester United predictions, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Fulham will once again be without Antonee Robinson after the 27-year-old underwent knee surgery in May.

Ryan Sessegnon is doubtful after missing the Brighton draw, but Muniz could get the nod up top after his late equaliser at the Amex Stadium. Emile Smith Rowe played the last 20 minutes against the Seagulls, and will be hoping for a starting role on Sunday.

United were without Andre Onana for the visit of Arsenal last week and the Cameroon international faces a late fitness test before Sunday's outing.

Joshua Zirkzee returned to the matchday squad against the Gunners, after missing large parts of pre-season, so the Dutchman is another option in attack for Amorim.

Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez were both unavailble last weekend and both look set to miss out again here. However, the Red Devils could hand a full debut to Benjamin Sesko after the striker came off the bench against Mikel Arteta's side.

Fulham vs Manchester United Odds

Fulham are 23/10 on Sunday, the draw is 13/5 and United can be backed at 6/5, giving them an implied win probability of 45.5%.

Sesko currently leads the anytime goalscorer market at 13/8, while Raul Jimenez and Muniz are shortest-priced for the hosts at 15/8.

Bet Builder - Manchester United to win and Matheus Cunha to score anytime @ 7/2

We think it's fair to say that United were unlucky not to claim at least a point against Arsenal, and the performance was much-improved from some of the ones we saw last year.

United managed to scrape a 1-0 win over the Cottagers last season, and Craven Cottage is generally a happy hunting ground for the Red Devils. In fact, United have won on their last eight visits to Fulham.

So, we think there's genuine reason to believe United can extend their remarkable record at SW6 on Sunday, after an encouraging performance last weekend.

The second part of our bet builder is backing summer signing Matheus Cunha to score anytime.

The former Wolves man looked very bright on his competitive debut for the Red Devils, and we think he'll make the difference on Sunday afternoon. The Brazilian forward has scored three goals in his last two trips to Craven Cottage, making him a sensible option to back.

Half-Time/Full-Time - Draw/Manchester United @ 9/2

If the last few years have taught us anything, more often than not, when United play there's drama. And we think there will be on Sunday, too.

The last four Premier League meetings between Fulham and Amorim's side have all seen a winning goal scored in the 78th minute or later - and all six goals in the last two seasons between the sides have come after the half-time interval.

Marco Silva has historically struggled against United, losing seven of his 10 league meetings with the Red Devils, including four out of five on home turf. So, following on from our first tip, we're backing a draw/United win on the half-time/full-time market.
