Manchester United vs Burnley Matchday Stats Preview 

Manchester United have lost just one of their last 16 Premier League games against Burnley (W10 D5) and have scored exactly three goals in all four of their home wins against the Clarets in the competition.

Burnley have won six points from their eight Premier League games against Manchester United at Old Trafford (W1 D3 L4), more than they have in nine against them at Turf Moor in the competition (5: W1 D2 L6).

Nine of the 11 goals Manchester United have conceded against Burnley in the Premier League have come in home games. Of all teams to concede 10+ against another in the competition, this is the highest share to have been conceded in home games (82%).

Burnley have won just one of their last 32 Premier League games against sides to finish in the top four the previous season (D4 L27), beating Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield in January 2021. Since that victory, the Clarets are winless in 18 such games (D2 L16), losing the last nine in a row.

Manchester United have never lost a Premier League home game against the previous season’s second tier champions, winning 24 and drawing seven of their 31 such games.

Manchester United have lost four Premier League games in Saturday 3pm kick-offs this season, as many as they had in the previous seven campaigns combined. Indeed, they’ve never lost five games in this traditional kick-off slot in a single Premier League season.

Burnley have only lost one of their last seven Premier League games (W2 D4). With their 4-1 win at Sheffield United last time out, they’re looking to win consecutive top-flight away games for the first time since May 2021.

Burnley haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 16 Premier League games, while their 69 goals conceded this term is their second most in a single campaign in the competition after 2009-10 (82).

As a player, Burnley boss Vincent Kompany won five of his nine Premier League away games against Manchester United (56%), with only David Silva having a higher win rate among players with at least eight visits (75% - 6/8). He could become the third person to beat Man Utd at Old Trafford as both a player and a manager in the Premier League after Steve Clarke and Mark Hughes.

Jacob Bruun Larsen has scored in four of Burnley’s five Premier League wins this season, while the Clarets ended up drawing the only other game in which he scored. Burnley’s only win in which the Dane didn’t find the net was against Fulham in December.
