Iwobi, Bassey target Devils’ scalp in 2024/25 EPL opener

Last season, the Red Devils suffered six home defeats in 19 league matches, including a loss against Fulham, whom they had previously lost to just three times in 33 Premier League meetings.

Iwobi’s 97th-minute winner at the Old Trafford in February handed the Cottagers their first win at the Theatre of Dreams.

Fulham had been beaten in 24 of those encounters before winning 2-1 at Old Trafford in February, and they are now aiming to post consecutive away victories against the rejuvenated Erik ten Hag’s team for the first time.

Fulham will be buoyed by the fact three of their last four league meetings with Manchester United have been won by the away side, each courtesy of a late winner, and Marco Silva is unbeaten in nine opening-day matches, so precedent points towards a positive result today.

While United have been busy recruiting players, the Cottagers are still rebuilding following the summer exits of Tosin Adarabioyo, Joao Palhinha, and long-serving defender Tim Ream.
