Manchester United hosts Burnley in round 20 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, December 30th at Old Trafford (Manchester)
Ralf Rangnick's team is in 7th position in the standings with 28 points after 17 matches. Manchester United gained eight victories and four draws and suffered five losses. The Red Devils suffered from match postponements due to the coronavirus epidemic in Premier League clubs. The games against Brentford and Brighton were postponed to reserve dates, so the players of Rangnik had no playing practice for 16 days. Perhaps this simple fact negatively affected Manchester United's actions in the away match against Newcastle on December 27 (1-1). The favorites of the game conceded an early goal and couldn’t breach the Magpies’ defense for a long time, but Edinson Cavani managed to equalize in the 71st minute.

Sean Dyche's team is ranked 18th in the Premier League standings with 11 points scored in 15 rounds. Burnley gained one victory and eight draws and suffered six defeats. Burnley's calendar was significantly hit by unplanned match postponements by the end of 2021. At the end of November, the Clarets were unable to play against Tottenham due to snowfall, and this month they missed the games with Watford, Aston Villa, and Everton due to the coronavirus. Dyche's footballers last played on December 12, when they shared points with West Ham (0-0). That draw extended the goalless streak in the Premier League to three rounds.
Burnley is a simple counterpart for Manchester United. In 13 previous head-to-head matches in the Premier League, the Red Devils gained eight victories and four draws and suffered their only defeat at home in January 2020 (0-2). Manchester United beat Burnley twice in the last championship. On January 12, the Mancunians won away (0-1), and on April 18, they achieved success at home (3-1). Under Rangnick, the Red Devils show modest production. In all four matches, they scored no more than one goal, and Under 2.5 goals scored were recorded in all cases. The Mancunians are only rebuilding themselves to the requirements of the German coach, so they are unlikely to please with high production in the upcoming match. Burnley is quite good on the defensive, and even the strong attacking lines of Manchester City and Liverpool scored only two goals against the Clarets. No more than two goals were scored in four of the last five matches, and Dyche's players have good chances to extend this streak.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
