The Premier League on Saturday will witness the rejuvenation of one of the oldest English rivalries between Manchester United and Burnley. Burnley will be travelling to Old Trafford to face their 25 miles-apart English rivals and we expect an electrifying fixture between the two clubs.
Manchester United is currently in the 6th spot in the point table with 16 wins. They are now eyeing to reach the Europa League spot before the end of the season.
Burnley stands in the relegation currently at the 19th position in the point table. They need 3 points to get out of the relegation zone and continue their Premier League journey.
The Red Devils will also concede a goal because of their tactical failure at the back. Burnley has conceded an average of 1.88 in every away game.
The betting tip is...
More than 2.5 goals will be scored in the match
76 %
24 %
A two-goal score from Bruno Fernandes helped Manchester United to score a comfortable win over the Blades in the previous fixture by 4-2. Possession of 72% and 2 2-goal advantage will give Erik Ten Hag some breathing space for the rest of the season.
Overall, the Red Devils have displayed an average possession of 51% - at home, the number goes up to 54%. They have taken an average of 11.03 shots in every game out of which 14% have seen a conversion. Manchester United has 56% wins at home an average of 1.69 goals.
Bruno Fernandes is their leading scorer with 10 goals and 7 assists on his name. Rasmus HΓΈjlund is following him with 8 goals and 2 assists on his name.
The Red Devils have shown a slower improvement at the back. They have conceded an average of 1.52 goals in every game this season. The hosts also have 8 clean sheets on their name out of 33 fixtures this season.
Willy Kambwala, Victor Lindelof, Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans and Lisandro Martinez are all out of action because of their respective injuries.
Predicted Lineup: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Maguire, Dalot; Eriksen, Mainoo; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
The Clarets are on their way to getting relegation and the only way they can come out of the situation is by ending every fixture from now on as a draw and somehow obtaining 6 points before the end of the season.
Overall, Burnley has recorded an average possession of 35% - which goes down to 29% in the away games. They have taken an average of 9.24 shots in every game out of which 12% have witnessed a conversion. The club carries only 18% of wins in the away set up with an average of 1.18 goals in every away game.
Jacob Bruun Larsen is their leading scorer with 5 goals on his name. Lyle Foster is following him with 5 goals and 3 assists on his name.
Their defence has been a major problem this year. Burnley has conceded an average of 2.03 goals in every game and has just 2 clean sheets on their name out of 34 fixtures.
Rhian Brewster and Daniel Jebbison are unlikely to travel with the team because of their respective injuries.
Predicted Lineup: Grbic; Bogle, Ahmedhodzic, Trusty, Osborn; Souza, Arblaster, Hamer; McAtee, McBurnie, Diaz
The Red Devils are at an advantage as they are facing a weak defence at home and have shown a major improvement in recent weeks.
Burnley comes with a vulnerable defence and a group of strikers who have failed to score goals in the away set-up. Manchester United has been expected to control the game since the start and we predict a win for them.
