On Tuesday, starting with 20:15, the Burnley – Manchester United match will be played, within the 1st stage of the Premier League (overdue). Prior to the 0-2 defeat at “Old Trafford” in January 2020, Manchester United had a 10-match unbeaten streak with Burnley.
With 3 wins and a draw in the last 5 stages of the Premier League, Burnley has risen a lot in the standings, now occupying the 16th place, with 16 points. Before this excellent period, Sean Dyche’s team was fighting with West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United in the bottom of the standings. In the disputes on their own field, Burnley obtained 3 victories, a draw and 3 defeats, at a goal difference of 5-7, evolving very defensively. Basically, apart from the success with Arsenal on “Emirates” (1-0), Dyche’s students are dependent on the evolutions and points marked on “Turf Moor”, their own arena.
On the other hand, Manchester United is currently tied for points (33) with the leader Liverpool, and with a victory at Burnley would break away with 3 points at the top of the Premier League standings. After an unexpected start to the season, the team coached by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer constantly improved their results and is in an excellent position. In the 7 away games, Manchester United has 6 victories and a draw, only Leicester beat it, but the “foxes” have two more disputed matches.
