Saturday’s late kick off sees two teams desperately in need of a win clash at Turf Moor as Burnley host Manchester United in the Premier League.

Vincent Komany’s Clarets have endured a difficult return to the top-flight with three losses from their opening four games though they did manage to hold on for a draw against Nottingham Forest last time out.

United, meanwhile, have lost three matches in a row following their predictable 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday. Erik ten Hag is dealing up a growing list of injuries to his first team squad and will see today’s encounter as the chance to change the fortunes of his team.

The Red Devils are already eight points behind league leaders Manchester City and need to put together a run of positive results to propel them up the table.

Prediction

This may turn out to be a good time for Burnley to play Manchester United. Erik ten Hag’s men are in a lull after three straight defeats and tend to crumble when they go behind in matches. Should Burnley score first they could hold on for a fine win but United want to get their season back on track and should come out firing at Turf Moor.

Burnley 0-2 Manchester United.
