Match Preview:

Burnley were finding form over the past few weeks and had won two games in a row. That ended at Everton with a narrow 1-0 loss and the club face a potentially difficult game when they take on Manchester United at the weekend.

Sean Dyche’s team are in 12^th place and depending on results they could break into the top 10 with a win here. Though the club have now lost 3 of their last five matches. At home Burnley along with Liverpool are the only side yet to draw and they have won 60% of their games at Turf Moor. However whilst they did win their last home game they have still lost two from the last three.

Manchester United finally let out a roar and it happened on Boxing Day as they beat Newcastle 4-1 at Old Trafford. The club did find themselves a goal behind and so the victory was even more impressive in the end. The game highlighted just how dangerous and good the club can be when they want to play and surely they will come here with some confidence.

United are of course chasing a top 4 finish and come into this game in 7^th place but just 4 points behind that position. The club have picked up 10 points from their last 15 and away from home they have won just once in their last four games. Their last away match ended in a 2-0 loss at Watford, and the club have won just twice on the road this season.

Burnley vs Man Utd Head to Head:

There is a 60% chance to see under 2.5 goals.

Burnley vs Man Utd Prediction:

Neither teams form is eye catching but if United can play at half their quality that they showed against Newcastle just a few days ago we should expect an away win. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was furious with his team when they lost against Watford comparing it to pre season training and the club responded. Paul Pogba’s recent lay off seems to have done him well and he has come back in good spirits and played some good football. If he can run the show here then Burnley are in for a difficult match and we think backing United to win this game is the way to go here. Marcus Rashford as ever is on fire and should be backed to add to his goal tally.
