Fulham vs. Manchester United Prediction: Picks & Odds for Sunday's Premier League Match
The Cottagers and Red Devils have both struggled to find their form this term, and my Fulham vs Manchester United prediction has the two sides sharing the spoils on Sunday.
The kickoff at Craven Cottage is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. ET for this matchday five encounter, with coverage available on NBC. You can also stream this game on Peacock.
Additionally, I'm seeing value in Bryan Mbeumo getting on the scoresheet for the visitors amid his impressive start to the campaign.

Who will win Fulham vs. Manchester United
Fulham is coming off an inspiring EFL Cup victory over West Ham mid-week, while the Red Devils were eliminated by Brighton in the competition on Wednesday. I'm eyeing a cagey affair in London that will end level.
Score prediction: Fulham 2, Manchester United 2

Fulham vs. Man United to draw (+280)
The Cottagers are off to a poor start this term, failing to win a single game in four appearances. However, I have no doubt the hosts will feel much more confident after winning in cup play earlier this week, and they also secured a point in a scoreless draw with a strong Liverpool side last weekend.
United lost the Manchester derby on matchday four despite having an extra man for most of the game before another lifeless performance against the Seagulls, blowing an early two-goal lead.
Neither team is playing its best football, and both have already conceded seven league goals this season. I expect chances at both ends and ultimately a share of the points. Fulham will give the Red Devils a run for their money.
🔥 More Fulham vs. Manchester United expert picks
Bryan Mbeumo anytime goal (+210)
Bryan Mbeumo’s start to the season has been encouraging, even if the goal total hasn’t fully reflected the quality of his chances. He’s found the net twice in four league appearances and is averaging 0.70 xG per 90, which ranks in the 95th percentile among Premier League players.
A big reason for that is where his chances are coming from. Eleven of Mbeumo’s 14 shots have been taken from inside the box, and he’s getting 3.50 attempts away per 90. Fulham have also been a favorable opponent for him in the past, with three goals in eight career meetings, so the Cameroonian international looks well positioned to threaten again at Craven Cottage.
