Manchester United host Burnley at Old Trafford tonight in an English Premier League fixture tonight at 11pm EAT.
Manchester United have won the last six Premier League fixtures under their caretaker Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
We have seen a revamped Manchester United side only seen under Sir Alex Fergusson that has played mostly attacking football. Everybody is waiting for the Red Devils to face a real challenge and they have shocked many by beating top-flight teams like Tottenham Hotspurs and Arsenal.
If Manchester wins tonight’s match, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes history as the first to win seven of his first Premier League fixtures. Only two managers have come close, Carlo Ancelotti with Chelsea and Pep Guardiola with Manchester City who have won six games each.
Manchester United are more likely to win this fixture with their current form. United’s forwards have been sharp finding the net in most of the games, the midfield of Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera has been impressive; United may need to work on their defence. David De Gea has been able to keep a paltry 4 clean sheets out of 23 games.
However, Burnley are not an easy target, they have won 45 per cent of their 22 PL points in their last four matches[Premier League].
Burnley’s danger man, Ashley Barnes, is expected to cause problems to the Manchester United back line.
Burnley’s Manager Sean Dyche is the master of Tuesday night football, he is undefeated in his five PL matches played on a Tuesday.
