Fulham and Manchester United will both be looking for their first wins of the season when they face off at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
It was another opening day defeat for the Red Devils at Old Trafford last weekend as Arsenal claimed a 1-0 victory. Riccardo Calafiori headed in the only goal after a clanger from United stopper Altay Bayindir and it remains to be seen if he will keep his place against Fulham.
But there was reason for optimism for United, particularly in attack, with Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha impressing on their debuts as Ruben Amorim looks for his side to improve on last season.
Fulham meanwhile needed a dramatic equalizer from Rodrigo Muniz to snatch a point at Fulham after a relatively quiet transfer window so far for boss Marco Silva.
He will like some new faces through the door before the window closes but will have his focus on three points against United on Sunday.

Team news
Fulham will have to do without skipper Antonee Robinson as he continues his recovery from a knee problem, while Ryan Sessegnon is unlikely to deputize for him due to his own problem.
United is again without Lisandro Martinez and Noussair Mazraoui but Andre Onana could return in goal following Bayindir's nightmare last time out.
Speaking ahead of the game, Amorim said: "We need to understand that every game has its history. The space and the opponent is not going to be the same.

"Even the responsibility on the game could be a little bit different and that has a lot of influence on the game.
"So, we need just to be consistent in our performance and consistency is not just playing in the same way, it’s to maintain the level and not drop too much.
"I feel that pre-season is pre-season, but even in pre-season and against Arsenal our consistency was good.
"Marco Silva is really experienced, really smart. He can change several things, cover several spaces and you can see game-by-game, he tries to do that."
