England Premier League
Sunday 2nd September 2018
Kick off at 4pm BST
Venue: Turf Moor
Match Preview:
Burnley and Manchester United will lock horns on Sunday afternoon and this will be a fascinating match given United’s recent troubles.
As for the home side there was disappointment in midweek when they could only draw against Olympiacos which meant being knocked out of the Europa League in the play off stages. So no European football for Burnley but it could be a blessing in disguise as it has clearly affected their Premier League start, Sean Dyche’s men have looked a shadow of themselves from last season.
Burnley have already conceded 7 goals in 3 games and are searching for their first win after being beaten 4-2 last weekend by Fulham. Their only home game in the league ended in a 3-1 defeat against Watford.
Manchester United continued their bleak season after losing 3-0 at home to Tottenham. Manager Jose Mourinho still received plaudits from some media and fans because United played well in the first half of the game and the performance was a massive improvement from their lacklustre display away to Brighton. But still it was also a convincing loss and Mourinho’s job remains under threat, 3 points are needed in this game.
Burnley vs Man Utd Team News:
Burnley: Nick Pope, Steven Defour, and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are all unavailable through injury, and Robbie Brady is a doubt.
Manchester United: Phil Jones will be pushing hard to be in the squad after suffering a knock against Tottenham
Burnley vs Man Utd Head to Head:
Last season Manchester United won this game 1-0.
Home or away Burnley have not beaten Manchester United since 2009.
There is a 70% chance based on recent matches that there will be under 2.5 goals.
Burnley vs Man Utd Prediction:
All eyes will be on United and Mourinho to see if they suffer a meltdown but Burnley have offered nothing this season and whilst they should improve as the season goes on, having to face quality teams such as Olympiacos then having no Europa League football and Manchester United coming to town is too much for them.
United are full of quality players and Mourinho just needs to get the best from his team. This could be a very intriging tie but United should have more than enough to get the win.
