Fulham will attempt to break their record points tally for a Premier League season when they face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Fulham will attempt to break their record Premier League points tally when they face Manchester United on Sunday.

The Cottagers have enjoyed a successful campaign in the top flight after winning promotion from the Championship last term.

Having picked up 52 points from their 37 games, Fulham are guaranteed to end the 2022-23 season in 10th position.

On the surface, it may appear that Fulham have little to play for on Sunday, but they head to Old Trafford with the chance to create a new club record.

Fulham are just one point away from equalling their record points tally for a Premier League season, and a victory on Sunday would set a new high.

The Cottagers will be hoping that they fare better on Sunday than they did on their last trip to Old Trafford in March when they were beaten 3-1 in an ill-tempered FA Cup tie.

Fulham boss Marco Silva, Willian and Aleksandr Mitrovic were all shown straight red cards, and the latter was suspended for eight games after he pushed referee Chris Kavanagh.

If the visitors are to claim all three points then they will need to end a 14-year winless run in Premier League meetings with Man United.

Since beating the Red Devils in 2009, Fulham have gone 14 top-flight games without a victory against Sunday's opponents (W11, D3).

They will at least head to Old Trafford on the back of a positive run of results after picking up seven points from their last three games.
