Manchester United take on the visitors Burnley in the 1/8-finals of EFL Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 21st at Old Trafford (Manchester).
On Wednesday, the main event will be the confrontation between Manchester United and Burnley. City legend Vincent Kompany arrives at Old Trafford as manager - will he create problems for old enemies? Manchester United this season must be rehabilitated for the failures of the previous one. The Mancunians in 2021 were the vice-champion of the country and the finalist of the European Cup. Of course, they expected progress, but both under Solskjaer and under Rangnick, the Red Devils were completely disappointed, unable to stay in the Champions League zone. It is clear that Eric ten Hag came to fix everything. Not everything works out for the Dutchman, suffice it to say that he won only 8 of 14 Premier League matches and met the winter in 5th position in the current table. But there were also beautiful and important victories. And the new coach is ready to make serious decisions, which is worth the way he put Ronaldo on the “bench”. As a result, Cristiano left, his contract was terminated. Let's see how it all affects the team and its potential.

Burnley focused on an immediate return to the Premier League. The Clarets ended their long Dyche’s era last season. Sean kept his wards in the Premier League for a long time and even brought them to the Europa League once. But this, sooner or later, but had to end with a relegation to the Championship - this happened last spring. This season, the task is to return to the elite and they entrusted it to Vincent Kompany, the Belgian legend of English football. And we must admit that the ex-defender of Manchester City is doing better in a new place than in the Belgian elite division. But the season in Championship is long, and it's too early to relax. So far, however, in the League Cup, they managed to get past 2 opponents, though modest, Shrewsbury and Crowley.
Manchester United have had 3 wins in a row in head-to-heads. But in February, Burnley at home was able to bring the fight to a draw. Manchester United are the favourite, of course. But Burnley is also in good conditions, so we should consider about the option "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
