Manchester United vs Burnley Preview and Team News

Manchester United Team News

Manchester suffered a shocking exit from the EFL Cup 1/32 finals, as they were knocked out by League Two side Grimsby. United made a comeback after being 2-0 down, but lost 12-11 in a tense penalty drama.

In the Premier League, Ruben Amorim’s men have made a shaky start to the campaign. Following a narrow 0-1 loss to Arsenal, they drew against Fulham 1-1 in a game where they had a lead but failed to maintain the advantage.

The hosts will be without Lisandro Martinez and Noussair Mazraoui in the upcoming fixture. We also expect Benjamin Sesko to be featured in the starting lineup. 

Manchester United predicted lineup vs Burnley (3-4-2-1): Onana; Shaw, de Ligt, Yoro; Dorgu, Fernandes, Casemiro, Diallo; Cunha, Mbeumo; Sesko.

Burnley Team News

Unlike Manchester United, Burnley overcame Derby’s barrier and reached the next stage of the EFL Cup. In a close contest, it was Peruvian Oliver Sonne, who scored an injury-time goal to seal a 2-1 victory.

In the Premier League, the Clarets beat Sunderland convincingly 2-0 at home. The match lacked action, but thanks to their defensive prowess, Burnley kept a clean sheet and limited their opponents to 0.78 xG.

There are some concerns in the visitors’ camp, with Maxime Esteve and Lesley Ugochukwu listed as doubtful. Connor Roberts, Jordan Beyer, Benson Manuel Hedilazio, and Zeki Amdouni are also sidelined with injuries. 

Burnley predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Dubravka; Walker, Ekdal, Worrall, Hartman; Laurent, Cullen; Larsen, Mejbri, Anthony; Foster.

Manchester United vs Burnley Prediction, Odds

Manchester need to bounce back immediately after their display at the EFL Cup. Ruben Amorim is also under pressure and can’t afford another negative result in the Premier League. This suggests that the Red Devils will be determined from the outset. 

Their head-to-head stats also favour the hosts. To illustrate, out of the last seven encounters, Man United won five and drew two. 

It’s time for Amorim’s men to break their poor streak and claim the first three points. Burnley are tough defensively, but it won’t be enough to avoid a defeat. 

Manchester United vs Burnley Betting Tip

Burnley’s major weakness is a lack of attacking creativity. Given that they also play on the road, the guests will likely avoid going recklessly into offence and instead focus on keeping the ball. 

Out of their last nine head-to-heads, five have ended with one of the sides leaving the pitch without a goal. The Clarets enter the game as underdogs, and it’s hard to see them creating many chances.

Achieving a resounding victory will be crucial for Manchester United. Thus, we anticipate them to keep a clean sheet and be extremely cautious in defence.
