Burnley are suddenly just three points from Premier League safety. Will our score prediction back the Clarets to get a win at Old Trafford against Manchester United?

Manchester United are coming off a come-from-behind 4-2 win over Sheffield United. The Red Devils were able to avoid embarrassment on Wednesday night after twice trailing the Blades at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag is on the hot seat and is rumoured to be set for the sack this summer. However, the Dutchman can still lead Man United to Europa League qualification for next season.

United’s win over Sheffield United ended a four-match winless streak in the Premier League. It also came on the heels of United’s 3-3 draw at the end of extra time against Coventry City in the FA Cup semifinals.

Despite Man United’s recent form, they are unbeaten in their last three home fixtures in the league. A 2-0 win over Everton was followed by a 2-2 draw with Liverpool and the 4-2 win over Sheffield United.

Burnley are unbeaten in five of their last six games in the league. Their form has improved dramatically and a win over United would put them level on points with 17th-placed Nottingham Forest.

Forest are feeling the pressure with Burnley honing in on them. However, Luton Town are also seeking survival. The clubs are in a three-horse race for salvation.

Thirteen of Burnley’s 23 points have come on the road this season. They play slightly better away from Turf Moor.

On the road, Burnley have scored 20 goals and conceded 32 times. Burnley’s last road fixture was a 4-1 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

United are unbeaten in their last six matches versus Burnley, picking up five wins and a draw.

The Red Devils had to work for a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture. Bruno Fernandes’ 45th-minute goal gave the team the narrow victory.

Burnley kept 60% of the possession in the reverse match. They also outshot United 12-11. Surely, Manchester United will play on the front foot this time around at home.

Fernandes leads Man United in goals with 10. He scored twice in midweek against Sheffield United. Rasmus Hojlund also scored in midweek and has eight goals.

Lyle Foster and Jacob Bruun Larson lead Burnley in goals with five apiece. Burnley have the league’s third-worst attack with 37 goals.

Can the Clarets cause chaos at Old Trafford? Our AI score prediction says ‘NO’. The Red Devils should win once more against Burnley by a score of 3-1.
