Greetings and welcome to everyone joining us for some Super Sunday Premier League action. Manchester United travel to Fulham, eyeing their first win of the 2025-26 top-flight season. Stay with us for the build-up and live updates.

Manchester United have won each of their last eight Premier League away games against Fulham. The Red Devils expectedly lead the overall head-to-head record too, having won 58 of their previous 94 meetings, suffering only 16 defeats in the process, while there have also been 20 draws.
Amad Diallo comes in for Diogo Dalot. Here is the Bruno Fernandes-led Manchester United's line-up for tonight's clash:
Left-back Ryan Sessegnon starts and Rodrigo Muniz leads the offensive line for Fulham. Check out the Bern Leno-led line-up for the face-off against Manchester United:
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim wants his wards to "do the same good things" that they did against Arsenal last weekend, but also to show more urgency to score goals. Here's what he said ahead of the match:
We are moments away from kick-off. The players are done with their warm-up drills and are now entering the pitch to customarily shake hands with the referees and each other. Expect a more aggressive United tonight.
We are up and running. Fulham kick off the match, attacking from left to right while Manchester United are kicking from right to left in the first half. And as promised, we see some early attacking intent from the Red Devils, as Matheus Cunha takes a crack at the Fulham goal from distance inside 90 seconds.
And now he hits the post! After his enterprising strike in the second minute, Matheus Cunha generates another big chance seconds later as his low shot whizzes between the legs of Calvin Bassey and clatters into the woodwork. Brilliant start from the visitors.
Altay Bayindir called into action! Josh King surges into the United box but their custodian is alert enough to spring out and stretch his foot to avert danger in the 12th minute.
And now a superb save from Bernd Leno. Seconds after Bayindir denies King, there's a big chance at the other end for Matheus Cunha but the Fulham goalie intuitively reacts to push the ball away.
The game has slowed down a bit from the frenetic first 15 minutes we witnessed. It could partly be down to Fulham settling in defensively and not allowing United to have open season shooting. The Red Devils still look likelier of the two sides to score, though.
A VAR check is employed for Calvin Bassey holding Mason Mount in the Fulham box amid a United corner. A penalty is given, and Bruno Fernandes steps up to take it with 10 minutes to half-time....
Fernandes makes a mess of it! He twists and turns before ambling in for the penalty, but ends up ballooning it. The ball flies way over the crossbar and the United captain's torrid run continues. Fulham survive...
The first period comes to an end after two minutes of added time. It's goalless at Craven Cottage as Bruno Fernandes' missed penalty is sure to become a big talking point during the lemon break. United, nevertheless have had the better chances and would look to capitalize in the second half.
Back in business. The second half kicks off with Manchester United attacking from left to right and Fulham from right to left. The Red Devils earn the first corner after the break in the 47th minute and Bruno Fernandes swings it in. Amad Diallo manages to get a shot on target but Bernd Leno keeps it out.
Leny Yoro breaks the deadlock! Manchester United fans have something to celebrate for the first time this season, as the Red Devils go ahead via a corner in the 58th minute. Bryan Mbeumo's corner kick is latched onto by Yoro, and the shot deflects off Rodrigo Muniz's back into the Fulham goal.
The hosts believe there was a push inside the box but the goal stands and Bruno Fernandes heaves a sigh of relief, for his missed penalty is forgotten for now.
We are all square at Craven Cottage! Emile Smith Rowe comes off the bench and scores within 90 seconds of his introduction to draw parity for the hosts. It is his first touch of the game and a golden one at that, as he taps in Alex Iwobi's cross past Bayindir.
The goal has expectedly energized Fulham, who are now going for the kill. Their substitutes have made a big impact and the rattled United are also letting the hosts storm their six-yard box repeatedly.
And there comes the final whistle. After five minutes of added time, the second half draws to a close and Fulham play out their second straight stalemate. It's the first point of the season for Ruben Amorim's men, who would no doubt be ruing captain Bruno Fernandes' missed penalty.
