Burnley host Manchester United at Turf Moor (Burnley) in the postponed Round 1 of the Premier League and the match kicks off at 8.15 pm (UK) on Tuesday, January 12.
The Clarets welcome Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side to Turf Moor in a match rearranged from the opening day of the season when the contest was called off to allow United extra rest time after their European exertions. Dyche's men are 16th, three points behind Newcastle and five clear of the bottom three after their 1-0 win over bottom-bound Sheffield Utd. Man Utd come into this game on the back of a 2-1win over Aston Villa in the league and a 2-0 defeat at home against local rivals Man City in the semi-final of the League Cup. A win here would be huge, as they could leapfrog Liverpool in 1st place before their trip to Anfield next weekend.
Burnley opened up a five-point gap between themselves and the relegation zone with a 1-0 victory over basement boys Sheffield United on Tuesday evening, earning their third league win in five in the process. The Clarets have been in very good form at Turf Moor of late, winning three and drawing one of their last four at home, while no team has conceded fewer home goals than Sean Dyche's side this season.
This will be a first Premier League game of the year after their match with Fulham in early January was postponed due to a Covid outbreak in the Cottagers' camp. The Clarets, who won at Old Trafford in January in the last meeting between the sides, could pull further clear of the bottom three with a win on Tuesday. Following victories against Wolves and Sheffield Utd, Burnley will have the opportunity to record three consecutive Premier League wins at Turf Moor for the first time since January 2017 (a run of five).
Man Utd, on the other hand, with their fourth win in five at Old Trafford against Villa, are starting to look as a title-contenders at the start of the new calendar year. United will overtake Liverpool at the top of the table should they avoid defeat, ahead of a meeting between the top two on January 17. Surely, it would be premature to think about winning the Premier League title at the moment despite not being at the top of the table at this stage of the season since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. But pieces of the puzzle are coming together and fans are beginning to believe a first title win since 2013 is a genuine possibility.
However, a Carabao Cup semi-final loss to Man City will be a good reminder for United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, whose side have now lost four cup semi-finals in the past 12 month, that they need a tangible proof of their recent improvement in the shape of some silverware.

Burnley won 2-0 at Old Trafford in their last Premier League meeting with Man Utd, but they’ve not won consecutive league games against the Red Devils since 1968. Also, Man Utd have avoided defeat in each of their last five visits to Turf Moor (W4 D1), keeping a clean sheet each time.
Burnley will have the opportunity to record three consecutive Premier League wins at Turf Moor for the first time since 2017, but Man Utd’s away form is way more impressive as the Red Devils are the only side still unbeaten away from home in the Premier League this season, winning six of their seven games so far (D1).

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
