Burnley vs Man Utd prediction

Burnley are finding points hard to come by right now and have something of a mountain to climb if they are to avoid the drop this season.

The Clarets have only Wolves below them in the table and haven't tasted victory in any of their last 11 Premier League games.

Man Utd's 1-1 draw with Leeds on Sunday proved to be Ruben Amorim's final game in charge of the club, with former Red Devils player Darren Fletcher installed as interim manager until a permanent successor is found.

It is often the case that a team raises its standards once an underperforming manager is dismissed, and that could well be the case here. It remains to be seen what tactical adjustments Fletcher makes at such short notice, but we expect a fast start form the visitors regardless.
