Manchester United have hit top form under interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, winning all eight games under the Norwegian boss. On Tuesday night, the Red Devils can aid their challenge for a Champions League spot by beating Burnley at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils recent good run of form continued on Saturday, as they defeated Arsenal 3-1 in the FA Cup fourth round. However, finishing in the top four is their priority this season.
Solskjaer’s arrival has seen Manchester United move within three points of fourth place, Chelsea. A record of six straight league wins is an impressive one for United. A key to the Red Devils recent upturn in form has been their form in front of goal, as they have scored at least twice in five of their six league wins.
The Red Devils recent home form in the Premier League has been strong, as they are unbeaten in nine matches on home soil, having recorded six victories in the process. A key to United’s recent good home form has been their attacking threat, as they have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches.
Burnley heads into this game unbeaten in four Premier League matches. However, the Clarets suffered a 5-0 mauling at Manchester City on Saturday in the FA Cup fourth round.
Sean Dyche’s team are still only three points clear of the relegation zone, despite three wins in their last four league outings in the English top-flight. The Clarets have scored at least two goals in all three of those recent league wins.
Burnley have won just one of their last eight away games in the Premier League. However, the Clarets have taken four points from their last two matches on their travels in the top-flight.
Forebet predicts that United will continue their recent winning run by recording a victory in a low scoring match.
