Two teams that are coming off opposite results on Boxing Day will lock horns on Saturday, when Burnley will host Manchester United. Burnley could not make it three wins in a row, while Manchester United did a great job against Newcastle.

Manchester United (7-5-7) were taken by surprise when they conceded first in their home match against Newcastle. But they quickly responded and eventually won that match by a dominant 1-4. They have been in really good shape lately, having only lost to Watford in their last eight matches in all competitions (5-1-2). Manchester United are now sitting at the 7th spot of the league table with 28 points, just four behind the top-four. They have not been anything special on the road (2-4-3).

Burnley (7-9-3) were terrible in their away match against Everton, where they failed to record a single shot on the opposing target and eventually lost by a slim 0-1. After back to back wins against Bournemouth and Newcastle, Burnley failed to keep it up and have now lost four of their last six league matches. They are sitting at the 12th spot of the league table with 24 points, four behind Manchester United. Burnley have been hit-or-miss at home so far (5-4-0), keeping clean sheets in all five wins.

Manchester United have been tremendous in this match-up over the years (5-1-4) and that sole loss came back in 2009. All five matches between the two sides in this venue have featured Under 2.5 Goals. I will take the Under 2.5 Goals here.
