Burnley v Man Utd

Burnley vs Manchester United Preview

Burnley will prepare for this upcoming visit of Manchester United at Turf Moor on Saturday night perhaps wondering where their first win of this new Premier League season will come following one draw and three defeats upon their return to the top flight after achieving automatic promotion from the Championship with ease at the end of last season.

This only goes to show the significant gap between Championship and the Premier League as Burnley have managed to pick up just one point from a possible 12 on offer which came in the form of a 1-1 draw away from home at Nottingham Forest last Monday night.

Burnley had previously slipped to three defeats on the trot to start their new Premier League campaign in disappointing fashion, being handed defeats by Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham respectively, and the worrying aspect of these losses was that each of these defeats were inflicted upon The Clarets on home soil.

To make matters worse, Burnley had earlier been denied the chance of a possible three points when their game against Luton Town was postponed due to improvements being made to Kenilworth Road.

Manchester United have also tasted defeat in recent times in the early stages of this season's Premier League campaign as the Red Devils have lost three of their five games to date this term and although they've picked up wins against Wolves and Nottingham Forest, the cracks have started to appear once again amongst Erik ten Hag's side.

Neither victory against Wolves and Forest were particularly convincing whilst defensive errors and poor decision making has cost United dear as they have slipped to losses against Tottenham, Arsenal and Brighton, the latter being a heavy and comprehensive 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford against a far superior Seagulls outfit.

Although no-one can deny Brighton's fluid and attractive attacking style of football, to lose 3-1 at Old Trafford is unforgivable for Manchester United as a club and ten Hag must address the apparent apathy in quick fashion, starting with this trip to Turf Moor on Saturday night.

Results away from home must also improve immediately if Manchester United are to stay the course with the top clubs with a view to a possible top four finish as the visitors find themselves languishing in the lower half of the Premier League table in 13th place having also managed to collect just two wins from their last nine outings on their travels.
