Premier League: Burnley vs Manchester United Live
Preview
Burnley is set to host Manchester United at Turf Moor today at 7:00 GMT in hopes taking advantage of United’s current crisis to salvage maximum points.
Burnley, managed by Vincent Kompany, secured a point in their recent outing against Nottingham Forest with a 1-1 draw. However, it was a night to forget for striker Lyle Foster, who had a late strike disallowed and received a straight red card for elbowing an opponent. Despite Foster’s misfortunes, Burnley had initially taken the lead with a goal from Zeki Amdouni. This draw marked Burnley’s first Premier League point of the season after suffering defeats at the hands of Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Burnley will be without Lyle Foster due to a suspension, and several players, including Michael Obafemi, Hjalmar Ekdal, and Darko Churlinov, are sidelined with injuries. On the other hand, Manchester United is dealing with an extensive list of absentees, including Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Amad Diallo.
Manchester United is grappling with a series of challenges, both on and off the field. They faced a 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich in a thrilling Champions League match, conceding goals to the likes of Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, and Harry Kane. Casemiro’s brace and Rasmus Hojlund’s first goal for the club provided some hope for the Red Devils, but it wasn’t enough to secure a victory.
Manchester United heads into this game as one of the four Premier League teams without a point on the road this season, having suffered defeat in four of their last five top-flight away games. Despite their recent struggles, they have a five-game unbeaten run against Burnley.
Head-to-head
United is unbeaten in their last five games against Burnley. Their most recent victory over them was last season in an EFL Cup tie where they won 2-0. In their last two away games to Burnley, they have secured a 1-0 victory and a 1-1 draw.
Prediction
We are predicting a narrow win for Manchester United. At worst, both teams could walk away with a point. Considering United’s defensive record this season, they are likely to concede at least a goal in this game.
