Match Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Burnley

Manchester United head into this encounter after a 1-1 draw against Fulham and a 1-0 loss to Arsenal, which might have them a bit rattled. They'll be looking to bounce back at home against Burnley, who've shown they can be unpredictable with a win over Sunderland but a heavy loss to Tottenham. 

United's style of play, even with recent inconsistencies, should give them the edge, especially with players like Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro in the lineup. Expect them to dominate the midfield and create numerous chances.

Burnley will be hoping to capitalise on any slip-ups from United. Their recent win against Sunderland shows they can be solid at home, but the thrashing by Tottenham away from home might make them cautious. 

They'll need to be defensively sound and look to counter-attack against United. It's going to be a tough ask, but they could make it interesting if they play their cards right.

Manchester United's form this season hasn’t been great, with a draw against Fulham and a loss to Arsenal. These results might have dented their confidence, but playing at home should give them a boost. 

They'll need to be more clinical in front of goal and tighter at the back to get back to winning ways. With players like Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, they have the quality to turn things around against Burnley.

Their win against Sunderland shows they can be solid defensively, but they'll need to be more adventurous if they want to cause an upset at Old Trafford. It's a tough ask, but they've shown they can rise to the occasion.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 2-0 vs Sunderland (H)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Tottenham Hotspur (A)

• Bayındır, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Diallo, Fernandes, Casemiro, Dorgu, Mbeumo, Mount, Cunha

With Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro in midfield, Manchester United should dominate possession and create plenty of scoring opportunities. The absence of Lisandro Martínez might affect their defensive stability, so they'll need to be cautious at the back.

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

Burnley's predicted lineup suggests they'll be looking to be solid defensively with players like Maxime Estève and Kyle Walker. They'll need to be disciplined and look to hit Manchester United on the counter with the pace of Jaidon Anthony and Lyle Foster.

• Bruno Fernandes vs Josh Cullen: Fernandes' creativity will be key for United, but Cullen's tenacity in midfield could disrupt his rhythm.

• Matheus Cunha vs Maxime Estève: Cunha's pace and finishing will test Estève's defensive skills and composure at the back.

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

• Lyle Foster (Burnley): Foster's speed and ability to lead the line could cause problems for United's defence if he gets the service.
