Manchester United will be hoping for a better outing when they host Burnley in their next game in the Premier League. The two sides are placed on opposite ends in the league standings, United seventh with 28 points while Burnley have 11 points in 18th place. Manchester United came from a three-game break and drew 1-1 with Newcastle United. It wasn’t an easy outing for United and they once again needed a second half goal to avoid defeat. They haven’t been scoring a lot in their recent matches; in the last five, they’ve managed more than a goal in only one game. While they are unbeaten in the last five matches, each of their three wins in the run have been by one-goal margins. Each of their last four matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Burnley haven’t really done well in this fixture, winning just once in the last six meetings. They head to the game having been out of action from 12th December and should feel well rested and ready. With no win in the last five matches, they’ll know three points here will be key, and that’s what will also lift them from the relegation region. Four of their last five matches have ended in draws and they’ve failed to score in each of their last three games. Burnley’s only loss in the last six matches was inflicted by Newcastle United. Just Like United, they’ve also been goal-shy; in the last five matches, Burnley have scored more than a goal in just one game. As a result, four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
