Manchester United vs Burnley Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The previous confrontation between these sides ended in a draw.

Manchester United are all set to battle it out against Burnley in what is going to be the matchweek 3 fixture of the English Premier League 2025-26 edition. Old Trafford is all set to witness an interesting clash.

The Red Devils are coming in after getting knocked out of the EFL Cup. The Ruben Amorim-led side fell prey to the fourth-tier team Grimsby Town in the second round of the cup competition. Man United are yet to win a game in the ongoing Premier League season and with the current issues, the upcoming game is going to be a tough one for them.

Even though they started their new season with a loss, the Clarets made a strong comeback and have won both of their next two games. They first secured a win against Sunderland in the league and then went on to defeat Derby County in their Carabao Cup fixture. Burnley are looking in good touch and will be feeling confident despite being away from home.
