Manchester United had to come from 2-1 down to earn a 4-2 win over Sheffield United on Wednesday. That win moved The Red Devils on to 53 points from their 33 matches. The midweek win over Sheffield United ended a run of four league games without a victory for Erik ten Hag’s side and they now sit a massive 13 points adrift of the top four.

Burnley have given themselves a fighting chance of avoiding the drop at the bottom end of the Premier League table. Saturday’s visitors were not in action during the week but earned a 4-1 win away at Sheffield United last weekend. The Clarets have lost just one of their past seven Premier League matches and are just three points adrift of safety with four matches to play.

Manchester United v Burnley: Head-to-Head

Manchester United have been dominant in head-to-heads against their near neighbours, losing just two of the past 35 matches between them and Burnley; a run stretching back to 1969. Burnley’s last win at Old Trafford came in January 2020 whilst their last trip to the Theatre of Dreams in the Premier League ended in a 3-1 win to the home side in December 2021. Burnley did visit Old Trafford in December 2022 where they lost 2-0 in a League Cup tie.

The reverse fixture at Turf Moor earlier this season also ended in Manchester United’s favour with the visitors earning a 1-0 win thanks to a Bruno Fernandes goal on the stroke of half-time.

Betting Tips

Bruno Fernandes was the match winner when these sides last met and the Manchester United captain has stepped up several times to rescue his side this season. The Portuguese international scored twice in the win at Sheffield United to extend his scoring sequence to five successive matches. Fernandes has scored seven goals in Manchester United’s five matches throughout April and will be well-fancied to get back amongst the goals on Saturday. Below are a few Bruno Fernandes-related goalscorer markets worth real consideration.

No other side in the Premier League’s top nine places have scored fewer goals than Manchester United this season but finding the back of the net has not been the route of their recent struggles. All five of Manchester United’s matches so far this month have seen the opposition score at least two goals. The Red Devils have conceded 13 goals in those five matches and are without a clean sheet in their past seven matches. Both teams to score is generously priced at 4/9. 27 goals have been scored in total in those five April fixtures which makes over 2.5 match goals almost a certainty at 4/11.
