Looks like Manchester united won't be able to take home this three points available in their first leg game with Fulham, I was thinking that Manchester united after their preparation at the pre-season games, that Fulham would have been an easy opponent team side to win, but seem they're finding it difficult to defeat Fulham at this point, and if this happens will be a very bad start of the season for Utd team if this game ended in a draw.
after having a very good first half with complete possession and dominance of the ball, thier performance in the second half was far from what you expect from a team like Manchester United and they had to struggle before having the late goal that placed them in a three point advantage at the moment. The outcome of this match and how they've played has already shown that they still has a lot to do with how they show complete control and dominance of the ball in this season. They've won and have secured all three point which is what matters most but going forward against a stronger and more formidable opposition they need to work on a lot of things both tactically and individually if they ever want to find themselves at the top 4 of the premier league table.

Am glad they won the match today but it's just going to be for some hours before Arsenal wins tomorrow with more goal points and tops the league. However, it's so funny that Manchester United was able to score just one goal in the match, the first team to win a match this season, the first team to secure three points and stay top 1 in the EPL table but at the end won't win the EPL title. The performance I saw today against Fulham was not what I expected. They were supposed to win them without stress, but they were lucky to score today.
Fulham keep proving a defensively strong team, and they are also not bad attacking wise because they also have experienced players driving from the wing, and they are mounting some pressure into Manchester United's defense.
Manchester United has scored just now. The goal was scored by Joshua Zirkzee. I thought Fulham would scored in the match also but sometimes a match may not go as predicted. Even if Manchester United won this match, I expected at least 2 or more goals but they scored their just now at 87th minutes. Although the start of a season will be very tough but I expected Manchester United to be better than this if they really want to let this season to be good for them. 
It's been a decent game with both sides in the first half ending goalless. I love the bursting attacks by the Manchester united players and it's fair to say they are hitting the ball with pressure on their opponent. I won't say am really impressed with the attacking forward that much watching how they have missed many good chances to put the ball in zhe back of fulham's net. This game ought to have ended in the first half with united in the lead because the cohesion is there, the defense has been great. However, am confident about Manchester united winning this match despite how difficult Fulham is proving to be.

I most commend the effort of both teams for maintaining a clean sheet to this level; indeed, all teams are prepared for the new season, and no team is willing to lose or drop points easily.
We have less than ten minutes to go in the match, and no goal yet; Manchester United fans are not happy at this moment because they never expected the match to come this far without a goal from them, but they are trying really well because they have created more sorts on target than their opponents. I am hoping if Manchester United cannot win, let them try to maintain the draw because Fulham can win them as well.

It was a goalless first half and I see that Casemiro is active in the match because his presence is felt. I hope to see one side scoring in the scond half and if United don't improve their performance and work towards scoring they might not win their opening match and that will be sad.
Manchester United ought to be a goal ahead already, with the home advantage, Manchester United are doing well. They need to take their chances because they may not have many in this second half. Fulham will try to tighten their defense and not allow as many chances as they allowed Manchester United. The Fulham defense has held so far, they need to try attack as well. Adama Traoré made good use of his body strength in the first half, he created a good opportunity that Fulham could not finish. If Fulham can use the little opportunities they have, they can get all three points from this first game and really start the season well. But have to wait till the end of the Match.

This shows the attacking and defensive strength of Manchester United. The pressure given to Fulham is indeed worthy of thumbs up, the defense is solid, but unfortunately MU failed to penetrate the opponent's goal calmly enough. Even though they dominated the game, the inability to take advantage of opportunities well is a weakness that needs to be considered; if Manchester United want to ensure victory, they need to be more clinical in front of goal. Fulham may look very down, but in football, one moment can change everything in a game.

Manchester United have not bad at all in the first half. They’ve had some good chances but they’ve failed to convert them. They look a tad better than last season in terms of pressing structure. Passing has been wayward but that can be attributed to rustiness. I think they will get better as the season goes on.
Fulham have shown some good performances too. Looking at the way Marco Silva has deployed the new Signing, Smith Rowe, why wasn’t he ever deployed in this role at Arsenal? He was hardly involved in the buildup. Here he looks like the main man.
It’s good to see that he is trusted by his teammates. They pass to him a lot and he moves the ball quicker than anyone else I’ve seen so far in the team.
Fulham manager should make some changes in the second half if they want to score and get good points from this game. Adama is making zero impact. He’s not even wining throw-in not to talk of winning duels. Adama is holding on to the ball too much and he looks like he’s lost some of his pace too.

The match is looking very hot as expected but the home team Manchester United is yet to take charge of the game as the home team so for now the game has been in an equal state. The Fulham team has made a very good attempt through Tete all thanks to Onana for making a crucial save to prevent the ball from entering the back of the net.
The first half of the match has ended, and they both played well, but Manchester United had lots of opportunities in the first half of the match, but they wasted all, which is kind of annoying. They dominated the match in the first half, but they couldn’t score any goal, which is really a bad one for them. Fulham's performance isn’t too poor in the match, their defense is giving Manchester United different time, and Fulham also had some opportunities, but Onana saved some, and some went off target. The second half of the match will soon start, let’s see how it goes. But with the way the match went in the first half of the game, Manchester United has higher chances of winning the match. 
Manchester United vs Fulham
Manchester United XI: Onana; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Mount, Rashford.
Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson, Lukic, Pereira, Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi, Muniz.
This is the first match of the Premier League season, let see what Manchester United have to offer, can they be able to beat Fulham and climb the top of the table for few hours because they can with stand the pressure of the top.

28 minutes already gone and the home team is yet to have a shoot on target, I think Manchester United needs to be very careful if they don't wnat to share a point in this game because they are doing more of defending instead of attacking the visitors to commit them to get an opening goal.

Fulham did managed to stay above from the relegation zone quite comfortably last season but most of the points they earned was mainly from home games and they do not have a very desirable away record. I think Manchester United should be able to claim a victory against Fulham in front of their home fans today in their opening match for this new English Premier League season.
It could be Fulham as an underdog team to surprise tonight, but I feel sure they will not be able to face Manchester United, this team has made changes in the Erik Ten Hag Era now even though several players have suffered injuries, the Red Devils can still anticipate to fight Fulham.The Manchester United odds are still good so it's probably worth a bet on singles, but I'm going for a parlay bet because I've seen some easy matches to predict, (in my own estimation). It could be Manchester United winning easily they will not make any more blunders.
The match should be a draw and i will go with that prediction.
Firstly, both teams should still have lags and probably still trying to integrate into the system. Would have given it to United having the advantage by playing at old traford but Recalling the situation of preseason and transfer window, fulham have been pretty decent in their matches, made some important signings and did that on time while ensuring the new signings took part in pre season and man united are still unsure of what their first team line up will look line for now due to injuries problems. This should be a draw I believe.

Everyone is literally in high expectations of Manchester United winning Fulham tonight to mark the beginning of the new season and it will be a disappointment if Manchester United are not able to win Fulham and it will also be a bad start if they fail to win tonight's game. This match will be a very tense game in my opinion because even Fulham will also fight to have a good start as they had a very poor campaign last season so they will be anticipating to do things differently this season so their fans is also expecting a favourable result from them as well.
However this is the beginning of a new season and the first games always creates tensions because it's been a while since they had major engagement in playing matches so regardless of their performances during the pre season games, the real match is here so they literally gonna play with carefulness and anything can be expected from both teams as we can't completely underestimate the strength of Fulham in this new season. Excitements are already everywhere to witness the start of a new season and I must say it's a good feeling knowing that the season is starting from tonight. Irrespective of who wins tonight's game, wish the both teams Goodluck.

I also want to trust Man United in this match. But I actually feel doubtful now. Even though statistically it is very clear that Man United will indeed be very favourites. They have an advantage in squad depth. And in this match Man United will also be the host. But I have doubts about them. And I am more inclined to see a draw in this match. And I see many people betting on Man United for this match. But yes, unexpected results could happen in this match. But I don't believe that Fullham will win this match. Because I think the best result that Fullham can get from this match is just a draw. Victory for them will be quite difficult. But this is football where surprises are no longer something we encounter strangely.Ten Hag has a good line-up in his main line-up in this match, even if he has to use Bruno Fernandes as a striker. In fact, Ten Hag has a new center forward who they just brought in this season, but so far he doesn't seem to be fully trusted by the tactician. Ten Hag doesn't want to take any risks, but I would prefer if Bruno Fernandes was played as an attacking midfielder rather than a pure striker.
Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee and several other players were on the bench, so they looked ready to go when Ten Hag really wanted to play him in the second half. I want to watch this match, I hope Manchester United wins.
At least, let's just look forward to how the results Chelsea will get next season because after all, there are also many hopes about their new coach who they say will be able to make Chelsea in the upper zone of the Premier League standings. Although indeed, I also may not be entirely sure even though they rely on young players, but it seems that they do not have good chemistry and by not having good chemistry it will be difficult for them to maintain good and consistent performance.
It was obvious last season that Chelsea Fc team somehow wasn't united from the fact there was a match where Jackson and Madueke where shamelessly fighting for the penalty spot kick with Palmer.Though I don't really have much hope on Enzo Maresca's, from the fact that those previous coaches never had hope to fail until things didn't go as plan and from the fact that our defense was trash to me during pre season but I can't judge after all.
Unlike Arsenal who do not always change coaches, so even though they still fail to get trophies, but at least in the last three seasons Arsenal have managed to improve their performance and quality. Therefore, continuing to change coaches will also basically not be good, so do not be surprised when Chelsea still fails despite spending a lot of money to recruit new players and coaches every season.
Actually Chelsea method has been working on a short interval since we have gotten this far thanks to this strategy from Roman but Todd Boehly's is management pretty annoying I hope things change for the better .Though there's a high chance that Arsenal will soon start getting more better reward for their patience if they can win the league this season since they have been the actual league contenders these past 2 seasons against Man City whereby no other team as been able to do it now, if Arsenal can really be consistent this season more than ever nothing is stopping then for becoming Epl champions after a long long time.
Arsenal is getting ready for war. They are just completing their squad and they keep hiring players Artetaa needs and since we know this coach I think they will have a strong team in the next season.
Now they are close to hiring Mikel Merino the player of Real Sociedad. Arsenal is ready to pay 35 million euros for this player.
according to some sources, they will sign the contract in less than 48 hours.
I don’t really know what’s delaying this deal. There are so many reports about his move to Arsenal. I hear Arsenal are stalling for Bruno Guimares. They maybe think they have a chance. Because few weeks ago. This deal was well advanced based on reliable reports. Or maybe the club caught wind of an opportunity with a more viable midfield option or even an attacker and wants to be sure they won’t be in a situation where they don’t have enough left, so they’re stalling. Now they are close to hiring Mikel Merino the player of Real Sociedad. Arsenal is ready to pay 35 million euros for this player.
according to some sources, they will sign the contract in less than 48 hours.
There is also talks that Real Sociedad has €5m to give Merino as loyalty bonus. So they want Arsenal to pay €30m so they can give him his €5m while they have €25m.
This is the format that Erik Ten Hag will use in the opening match against Fulham. Sancho is not on the list so Man United will use a combination that is not too foreign besides Mazraoui who has just been brought in to fill the back line with Martinez and Maguire who was also chosen as the starting XI after some information that made Maguire almost lose his place. Mainoo, Rashford, Bruno and Mount are believed to be able to put pressure on the Fulham defense, Garnacho, Zirkzee and De Light will hopefully come on in the second half.. I think this match will not be too intense and the prediction is a narrow score between 2-1.
