Fulham and Manchester United have named their starting teams for their meeting at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Cottagers are bottom of the table but earned their first point of the season with a 0-0 draw at Liverpool on September 12 and would move outside of the relegation zone with victory.
United have had a forgettable week, starting with a 1-0 defeat at home to 10-player Manchester City in the Premier League last Sunday.
Michael Carrick is facing pressure after his side then spurned a two-goal lead at home and lost for the first time in 50 years, exiting the EFL Cup with a 3-2 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.

- Manchester United’s total of four points from their first four Premier League games (W1 D1 L2) this season is their joint fewest in the competition at this stage, along with 1992-93 and 2025-26; they did recover from those starts to finish 1st and 3rd in those respective seasons, however.
