High-flying Manchester United will look to extend their winning run in all competitions to six games when they take on Fulham in the Premier League round 26. Lately, the Red Devils have been netting goals with ease, and it’s probable they’ll maintain their aggressive approach when facing the Cottagers. Luke Shaw should be fit for the match, while all Lisandro Martinez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Antony Martial, and Mason Mount remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The capital club, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the Old Trafford outfit this time out. Returnee Alex Iwobi is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Joao Palhinha serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards. Towering striker Raul Jimenez remains in the recovery room.
Outright Betting
Manchester United are odds-on 4/7 favourites with Ladbrokes to secure what would be a fifth Premier League win in succession.
Fulham fell to defeat in the reverse fixture and the bookmakers’ odds suggest they will suffer the same fate here, with an away trading at 5/1 (BetSo88) while the draw has been chalked up at a best price of 7/2 (Unibet).
Betting Angles
With Manchester United too skinny to attack at the above-mentioned price, I’ll head to the Bet Builder and bundle up a home win and Harrison Reed to commit a foul at 19/20 on PaddyPower.
As already alluded to, Erik ten Hag’s hosts appear to be building some momentum in their pursuit of a top four place and a home game with Fulham represents a good opportunity to extend their winning sequence.
Three of the Red Devils’ last four Premier League victories have come against sides housed above Fulham in the league table, not to mention the Cottagers have claimed top honours from just two of their last nine top-flight outings.
It’s also worth pointing out that Marco Silva’s men have won just one of their 12 Premier League road games this season so far, which doesn’t augur well ahead of this weekend’s trip to Old Trafford.
I’ll therefore back United to put another three points on the board on Saturday, but to boost the odds, I’ll also back Fulham’s Harrison Reed to commit a foul.
With fellow midfield destroyer Joao Palhinha suspended for this clash, the aforementioned Reed should get run out from the off on Saturday.
Whilst the tough-tackling Fulham midfielder is averaging 0.8 fouls per-game in the Premier League this season, he has only stared 10 times, not to mention he has racked up five fouls across his last two appearances.
After bagging a brace away at Luton last time out, the 10/11 (PaddyPower) on Rasmus Højlund to Score or Assist also looks too big to ignore.
The Danish forward has hit a purple patch in front of goal, having netted seven times across his last six appearances, and he will fancy his chances of adding to that tally against a Fulham side with just one clean sheet to their name in their last 11 top-flight road matches.

Manchester United vs Fulham Prediction
Manchester United have been scoring for fun of late. They won six and drew one of the last seven outings in all competitions. Five of these seven fixtures produced goals at both ends. The Red Devils left a lot of space behind last weekend against Luton Town in a match in which we saw a total of 43 shots. Fulham have also played attacking-minded football of late. Each of the last three of their league outings saw the Over 2.5 goals FT & Both Teams To Score option coming in. We will take the 2.10 odds offered for Manchester United to win & Over 2.5 goals FT pick here.
Rasmus Hojlund has finally caught the wanted rhythm. The Danish forward endured a rough patch of form at the start of the season. He is now in his comfort zone. He bagged a brace last weekend at Kenilworth Road. Hojlund was on target in each of his previous six appearances for the Red Devils. As we expect another high-scoring affair, the value is great with Rasmus Hojlund to score anytime at the 2.05 odds.
