Burnley hosts Manchester United in round 1 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 12th at Turf Moor (Burnley)
Every year, Sean Dyche’s charges are trying to accomplish the only task in the elite - to maintain a place there and sell leaders on favorable terms. Burnley itself practically does not work in the transfer market. In the Premier League, the team managed to score 16 points and occupies 16th place in the standings. In the last five rounds, the Clarets managed to gain three victories (over Arsenal, Wolverhampton, and Sheffield United). It is extremely important for the club to work in the transfer market in the winter, where the first priority will be to strengthen the attacking line (only nine goals scored in 15 Premier League games). Wood, who has scored only three goals this season, is the top scorer of his team. The New Zealander needs a quality substitute.

Few expected such tournament agility from the Red Devils after the initial failure in the Premier League. Solskjaer's charges gained powerful momentum - the second line in the Premier League standings and the same number of points scored with Liverpool (33 points). Manchester United plays with good ball control and efficient conversion of goal attempts. Against the background of the start of the season, the coaching staff managed to significantly improve the reliability of the defensive line. A range of Manchester footballers (Rashford, Pogba, and Fred) show serious progress this season. The Portuguese Fernandes is in excellent shape, the talented McTominey reliably operates in the midfield, McGuire is strong in defense, and Cavani successfully appears from the bench. Manchester United capable of returning to the ranks of the main grandees of European football.
It is extremely important for modern Burnley to fight for the points scored in each new championship match, as it will enable Dyche’s wards to count on maintaining their place in the elite at the end of the season. Manchester solves other tournament tasks. The Red Devils have learned to beat the league's outsiders and middle peasants without much difficulty. This allows United to claim three points in the upcoming confrontation.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win
