Vincent Kompany’s side will be glad they have no fresh injury concerns, but forward Lyle Foster begins a three-match ban after his red card against Nottingham Forest on Monday.

The most notable names for the Clarets still sidelined with injury include Darko Churlinov, Hjalmar Ekdal and Michael Obafemi.

United fans will be boosted by news that Mason Mount and Raphael Varane returned to training this week. Summer loan signing Sofyan Amrabat is also in strong contention to start the game, while Harry Maguire, who missed the 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich, also faces a late fitness test.

Head to head record

In terms of head to head, Manchester United are clear favourites for the game as they have won nine of the last 16 matches between the two sides. Burnley have only won twice.

United also tend to perform decently at Turf Moor, as stats show they are unbeaten in their last seven meetings at the stadium (2 draws, 5 wins).

Burnley also have a hard time scoring against Manchester United when the Red Devils are the visitors, as only two of their last 11 goals against United have been scored at home.

Match prediction tip 1: Manchester United to win

According to odds on 1Xbet, Manchester United have a 1.68 chance of winning the game against Burnley at Turf Moor.

Punters who are unwilling to take too many risks can count on Ten Hag’s side to claim a victory, based on recent history between the two sides.

Match prediction Tip 2: Both teams to score: No.

United are also unlikely to struggle to keep out Burnley, who historically have found it difficult to score at home against the Red Devils

Match prediction Tip 3: Manchester United to score more than 2 goals (Over 1.5)

United have also shown under Ten Hag that goals are not necessarily hard to come by. Given the nature of the opponents, one can bet the Red Devils will get a couple of goals.

Match prediction Tip 4: Bruno Fernandes/Marcus Rashford to score

This is for the punters who like to take bigger risks. Since United have been heavily tipped to win this game, goals are likely to come from somewhere. Captain Bruno Fernandes’ odds of scoring are a bit higher since he is the designated penalty taker, while Marcus Rashford is known for coming up with crucial goals for his side.
