Burnley ended up with a 0-0 scoreline against Watford in their previous match, a game to keep in mind. The next assignment is this formidable Manchester United side.

Insights:
  • Burnley have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Manchester United have scored more than double the goals of Burnley.

It's no vacation for neither Burnley nor Manchester United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Burnley form and stats

Burnley's struggle is real here at Turf Moor with only 8 points collected from 8 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-5-2. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Turf Moor, but a victory now would be sweet for Burnley.

Cornet was the last player to score a league goal for Burnley and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Burnley haven't scored in 216 minutes. Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Nick Pope not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.

The spoils were shared in Burnley's previous game, also at home. Visiting Watford (placed 18th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Pope, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.71 out of 10 in that game. Pope topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that, Burnley played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Arsenal.

At Turf Moor, Burnley has the goal stats of 8-8 (for/against) from 8 league fixtures.
