🗞️ Team News: Burnley

Mike Trésor (Biceps femoris muscle injury) and Michael Obafemi (Hamstring Injury) aren’t available for Burnley gaffer Vincent Kompany.

In our view, The Clarets will possibly employ a 4-2-3-1 system in the match featuring James Trafford, Connor Roberts, Ameen Al Dakhil, Jordan Beyer, Charlie Taylor, Josh Cullen, Josh Brownhill, Luca Koleosho, Sander Berge, Anass Zaroury and Zeki Amdouni.

📰 Team News: Manchester United

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has to choose a team with limited availability. Tyrell Malacia (Unknown Injury), Amad Diallo (Knee Injury), Mason Mount (Unknown Injury), Luke Shaw (Muscle Injury), Kobbie Mainoo (Ankle Injury) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Hamstring Injury) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that The Red Devils appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Andre Onana, Diogo Dalot, V. Nilsson Lindeloef, Lisandro Martinez, Sergio Reguilon, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Facundo Pellistri, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hoejlund.

⚡ Prediction

Our feeling is that Burnley will likely be able to score against this Manchester United lineup, but one goal probably won’t quite be good enough.

We’re therefore expecting a very close game with a 1-2 winning score for Manchester United after the 90. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
