Manchester United vs Burnley Prediction & Match Preview

Manchester United vs Burnley
England – Premier League
Date: Wednesday, 22 January 2020
Kick-off at 20:15 UK/ 21:15 CET
Venue: Old Trafford.

Manchester United will be looking to return to winning ways and close the gap to the top four when they welcome Burnley to Old Trafford on Wednesday.

 The Red Devils are currently six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the standings and they have a brilliant chance to reduce that deficit with a victory against the Clarets.

Sean Dyche’s side have proved a bogey club for United at Old Trafford, in particular and Solskjaer will be aiming to end a run of three draws against the Clarets at the stadium.

Burnley, on the other hand, had been on a steady slide over the past month, but arrested their slump this past weekend, as they came from behind to beat Leicester City 2-1 at Turf Moor. The Clarets, though, will be eager to embark on a solid run of form, seeing as they find themselves precariously close to the relegation zone.
