Prediction
This may turn out to be a good time for Burnley to play Manchester United. Erik ten Hag’s men are in a lull after three straight defeats and tend to crumble when they go behind in matches. Should Burnley score first they could hold on for a fine win but United want to get their season back on track and should come out firing at Turf Moor.
Burnley 0-2 Manchester United.
