At long last, Man United will return to Premier League action. After finishing 8th but winning the FA Cup last season, there is optimism and expectation for Man United to climb the league table this season. A strong start could set them on the right path, so Erik ten Hag will be eager to get things right.

However, Fulham are certainly no pushovers. Fulham have their own goals to finish higher in the league table, so it is always difficult to navigate the opening day of the season. All eyes will be on this fixture, considering it marks the very first match of the season, for any club.
