3. Manchester United lose at Turf Moor

Manchester United managed to claw some points back in the title race last weekend when they took Stoke apart in an impressive 3-0 win at Old Trafford. They’ll need a similar performance this weekend if they are to take any points in their match with Burnley.

Turf Moor is one of the hardest grounds to get a win at in the Premier League no matter what team Burnley are playing. Sean Dyche’s men sometimes thrive more in situations where they’re the supreme underdog despite their more established status nowadays.

Jose Mourinho is a master tactician and managed to get the win at Turf Moor last year but something tells us the Clarets and Sean Dyche are going to be ready for the Red Devils this time.

Many years ago, in 2009, Burnley recorded a famous victory of Manchester United when Robbie Blake scored a wonder goal and goalkeeper Brian Jensen made an amazing penalty save.

Dyche will be hoping his side can produce something similar to that performance this weekend. We fancy the Clarets to put Mourinho’s men to the sword on Saturday.
