Burnley vs Manchester United – Preview
The Clarets’ fearless approach against the big boys has them sitting second-bottom of the Premier League with one point through four matches.
Burnley allowed at least one goal in the first 20 minutes of their losses to Tottenham, Manchester City, and Aston Villa, and struggled to stem the flow in the remaining minutes.
Manchester United are struggling, and their defensive weaknesses were exposed in their 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
Erik Ten Hag’s side has failed to win four of six in all competitions and you can cast a lot of doubt on how deserved their two wins were.
Wolves were clearly the better team at Old Trafford on the opening weekend of the season, while Nottingham Forest led 2-0 at the same stadium.
While it is undeniable that the Reds have the offensive power to take advantage of the spaces that Burnley leaves, this is arguably the easiest home game for the Clarets so far.
While hosts may represent a drop-off in standards compared to recent opponents, conceding is a habit and United have shipped 14 in five matches.
Injuries to Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Malacia, Maguire and potentially Varane leave them with no option in defence other than the partnership of Martinez and Lindelof which just isn’t working.
Burnley have been scoring against teams that are much better organized and efficient, so it is not out of the question that they could score one or two goals against Manchester United.
The fixture has typically been a low-scoring victory for the Reds, but these are different times and the hosts will show no fear or respect on Saturday night.
Burnley are sticking to their game plan and with the visitors struggling, it feels like this could be the day it pays off.
