Burnley avoided a shock defeat against MK Dons at the weekend thanks to a 94th-minute equaliser from Matej Vydra to take the game to extra time. Nothing separated the teams after the additional 30 minutes of football either, and Sean Dyche’s men had to advance through to the FA Cup fourth round on penalties.
Man Utd looked like they might have been in the mood for a high scoring encounter when Scott McTominay’s fourth minute header went in on Saturday, but that proved to be the only goal of the game.
Watford did cause the Red Devils some problems, with Adam Masina’s excellent chance being blocked by Dean Henderson shortly after the Scottish midfielder’s opener, and the Hornets had to settle for a defeat even with just one fewer shot than Man Utd’s 19 across the match.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be relieved to advance unscathed in that competition and without extra time too in order to keep his men fresh over this busy period.
Usually, a run of three road games would be a concern, but for Man Utd it is their bread and butter, winning 10 of their 13 trips this term, as their only two such defeats came in the Champions League.
Of course, their main focus will be their trip to Anfield at the weekend, and with that sandwiched by this encounter and a visit to Fulham, you’d imagine Solskjaer will look to rotate his charges in the latter of the three outings.
The Clarets have started to build some form at Turf Moor, winning three of their last four unbeaten outings since the start of November.
However, against the respective top-half teams this term and the last, they’ve gone a miserly W2-D8-L15 from their 25 matches at all venues since the start of last season, including W1-D5-L7 here.
Unsurprisingly, 12 of their total 15 such defeats both home and away came against the ‘Big Six’ or Leicester (excluding Arsenal who finished 11th), conceding at least twice in 11 and three or more in nine, and that looks likely to be added to in this fixture.
Furthermore, Dyche’s men lost 3-0 hosting Man City at the end of September in League Cup too, proving just how much they struggle against the best in the business.
We’re certainly not going to get carried away by a couple of recent wins for the hosts as they’ve still lost seven of their last 16 outings, winning just four.
Man United – Over 1.5 Goals
The Red Devils have netted at least twice in each of their last 11 trips since their 3-0 win against Brighton back in late June last season, scoring a total of 31 times across those game (2.82 goals for per game).
They’ve also netted at least twice now in three of their four trips to this stadium since 2017, and we’re confident they can continue that run.
Man United Goals – Over 1.5 At 1/2
