    Matheus Cunha looks a strong candidate to get on the scoresheet when Manchester United visit Fulham. His Premier League record with Wolves last season underlines why. He scored 15 goals and added 6 assists in 33 appearances, outperforming his xG of 8.6 by a wide margin. He averaged more than three shots per game and 1.5 on target, showing a consistent ability to test goalkeepers. Importantly, he already has history against Fulham, scoring twice and assisting once in Wolves’ 4-1 win at Craven Cottage last November.

    His United debut against Arsenal offered further encouragement. Despite the 1-0 defeat, Cunha produced four shots, three of them on target, and registered seven shot-creating actions. He looked sharp, carrying the ball well and getting into good positions. Fulham’s defence, meanwhile, remains vulnerable. They conceded 30 goals at home last season, kept only two clean sheets and opened this campaign by allowing Brighton 10 shots and 1.48 xG. With Cunha already looking comfortable in Amorim’s system, he is well placed to take advantage and find the net at Craven Cottage.
