Match Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Burnley.

Manchester United, coming off a draw against Fulham and a loss to Arsenal, will be looking to regain their footing at home. Their performances this season suggest a struggle to convert possession into goals, which could be a concern against a Burnley side that showed resilience in their win over Sunderland but crumbled against Tottenham. 

United's midfield, led by Bruno Fernandes, will need to control the game's tempo and create chances for their forwards.

Burnley will be buoyed by their victory against Sunderland, but aware of the challenge posed by a trip to Old Trafford. Their loss to Tottenham highlighted defensive frailties that Manchester United could exploit. 

However, if Burnley can replicate the intensity and organisation they showed against Sunderland, they might frustrate United and keep the game close.

Manchester United's form this season has been underwhelming, with a draw against Fulham and a loss to Arsenal. These results indicate a team struggling to find their rhythm, particularly in front of goal. 

The absence of Lisandro Martínez due to injury might affect their defensive stability. Still, the presence of players like Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro in midfield could provide the necessary control and creativity to turn their fortunes around against Burnley.

Burnley's form this season has been mixed, with a convincing win over Sunderland at home but a heavy defeat to Tottenham away. This suggests they can be competitive but struggle against stronger teams on the road.

Their victory against Sunderland indicates they can be organised and effective, but the loss to Tottenham highlights defensive vulnerabilities that Manchester United might target. The absence of Zeki Amdouni due to injury further impacts their attacking options.

Historically, Manchester United have had the upper hand against Burnley, winning three out of the last five encounters. The most recent match between the two ended in a draw, but United's overall record suggests they are likely to come out on top in this fixture.

• Dúbravka, Walker, Ekdal, Estève, Hartman, Cullen, Ugochukwu, Larsen, Hannibal, Anthony, Foster

Burnley's predicted lineup suggests a focus on defensive solidity with players like Maxime Estève and Kyle Walker. Their midfield, led by Josh Cullen and Hannibal, will need to work hard to disrupt Manchester United's rhythm and launch quick counter-attacks.

• Bruno Fernandes vs Josh Cullen: Fernandes' creativity will be crucial for United, while Cullen's defensive work will be key for Burnley.

• Benjamin Sesko vs Maxime Estève: Sesko's goal-scoring ability will be tested against Estève's defensive prowess.

• Amad Diallo (Manchester United): Diallo's pace and dribbling could be a game-changer on the wing.

• Lyle Foster (Burnley): Foster's work rate and ability to hold up play will be vital for Burnley's counter-attacks.
