Two Portuguese Premier League bosses embrace on the Craven Cottage touchline this Sunday, as Fulham welcome Manchester United for a fascinating gameweek two contest.

Team News:
- Antonee Robinson will not be in action for Fulham as he is injured. Ryan Sessegnon might also miss out due to a lack of fitness.
- Man United will be without the services of Lisandro Martinez as he is injured. Noussair Mazraoui might also miss out due to a lack of fitness.
Player(s) to watch:
- Raul Jimenez is the man the Cottagers will rely on to put up a strong fight against Manchester United’s defence. Raul Jimenez displayed some amazing performances for both his club and country during the 2024-25 season. It will be interesting to see how he performs against the Red Devils.
- Benjamin Sesko will be one of the main men for the Red Devils in the attacking front. Even though he failed to score a goal in the last fixture, Sesko is going to play an important role in the final third for the visitors. With the help of his fellow teammates, he is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
