Manchester United take on the visitors Burnley in the round 35 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 27th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
No matter what state Manchester United finds themselves in at any given moment, and no matter how much criticism the manager and players receive, in the match against Burnley at Old Trafford, the hosts are a priori favorites. Not only are they significantly stronger than their opponent, but they are also motivated for the remainder of the season as they are competing for a spot in the European competition zone. While Manchester United are currently sixth in the table, Newcastle, West Ham, and Chelsea are close behind and breathing down their necks. Manchester United cannot afford to slip up in the upcoming round. After defeating Everton (by the way, 2-0 at home), Erik ten Hag's team failed to win in four consecutive Premier League matches. However, during this time, they played only one match at Old Trafford, drawing with Liverpool (2-2), which is also a good result. And in the last match of the championship, Manchester United defeated one of the league's underdogs, Sheffield, at home (4-2). Now it's time for another team from the bottom of the table to suffer defeat at the legendary stadium.

Burnley's victory in the previous round over Sheffield, even if it was significant, doesn't really say much. Yes, one outsider defeated another outsider. So what? The chances of Burnley retaining their place in the Premier League have certainly increased dramatically. But it's unlikely that Vincent Kompany's team will perform a miracle. After all, Burnley's next opponents are Manchester United, Newcastle, and Tottenham. It will be very difficult for the team from second to last place in the table to even grab a single point in these three matches. Yes, having only one defeat in the last seven rounds of the championship for Burnley are commendable. But all the opponents during this period are positioned lower in the table than Manchester United. I believe that the visitors have no chance at Old Trafford on April 27th.
No matter how much one may argue that Manchester United are very unstable this season, and Burnley has almost stopped losing recently, it doesn't change the fact that the hosts are the clear favorites in this encounter. Playing at home, with the support of their fans, and currently sitting sixth in the table, Manchester United simply must prevail over a team that is second to last in the same table. I'm betting on Manchester United to win.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win.
