Follow live coverage as Fulham face Manchester United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Fulham FC 0 - 1 Manchester United FC
Fulham vs Manchester United
21:02Manchester United secure a 1-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League! Fulham, who created 0.67 expected goals, enjoyed the early chances in the first half, with Smith Rowe having an opportunity to take the lead, but he failed to hit the target from close range. After the break, the Cottagers continued to show more of a threat in the final third, but it was United who found the opener. Martinez pounced on a loose ball outside the Fulham box, and his long-range effort took a wicked deflection and found its way into the back of the net. Silva's side came just inches away from finding an equaliser as Andersen's header looked destined for the back of the net, but Collyer made a sensational clearance to save the three points for his side. United created just 0.25 expected goals, but they won't care as they come away with the win. Up next for Fulham is a trip to Newcastle, while Manchester United will host Crystal Palace in the Premier League. That's all for today, goodbye!

According to Opta's live win probability calculator, Fulham have a 35.3% chance of winning from here, with a draw at 35.4% and a United victory at 29.3%. Amorim hasn't been afraid to make changes when it isn't working, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see some early substitutions after the break. Could we see Zirkzee, Mainoo, or Eriksen shortly after half-time?
Fulham vs Manchester United
19:56Fulham and Manchester United go into the break with the scoreline level at 0-0 at Craven Cottage in the Premier League. It's been far from a thrilling encounter with minimal clear-cut chances from either side, but the Cottagers have looked the more threatening. Iwobi has caused plenty of problems for United down the left, and he's had two opportunities to test Onana, but the Cameroonian goalkeeper has saved comfortably on both occasions. Smith Rowe had the best chance of the game for Silva's side, but he missed the target when trying to lift the ball over Onana. Amorim will be desperate to see more from his attacking players in the second half.

In defence, Martinez comes into the starting XI in place of Yoro, who is named on the bench. Garnacho also comes into the side, with Mainoo dropping to the bench, meaning Fernandes could be playing in a deeper role. The third and final alteration sees Hojlund replacing Zirkzee.

18:41Manchester United have lost six of their last nine Premier League matches (W2 D1). The Red Devils haven’t had a run of seven losses across 10 league games within the same season since doing so in the 1988-89 campaign between March and May. Since losing twice away to Fulham in 2009 (0-2 in March, 0-3 in December), United are unbeaten in eight Premier League visits to Craven Cottage, winning the last seven in a row (D1). A win for Ruben Amorim's side will see them climb to 12th place in the Premier League table.
Fulham vs Manchester United
18:36Fulham have won just one of their last 18 Premier League games against Manchester United (D3 L14), picking up a 2-1 win at Old Trafford last season. Marco Silva's side have scored exactly two goals in each of their last five Premier League matches. Only once in their top-flight history have they netted two or more goals in six games in a row, doing so between February and April 1966. The Cottagers have only failed to score in one of their 21 league matches, a goalless draw against bottom-side Southampton in December.
