MATCH FACTS

-

Manchester United have lost just one of their last 16 Premier League games against Burnley (W10 D5) and have scored 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 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 per cent).

Burnley have won just one of their last 32 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 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 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 season.

Burnley have only lost one of their last seven 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 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 away games against Manchester United (56 percent), with only David Silva having a higher win rate (75 percent).
