Manchester United host Burnley in the Premier League today, so we simulated the game to predict what could happen
After putting an end to their winless run on Wednesday night, Manchester United will be looking to make it two wins in a week when they host Burnley today.
The last meeting between the two sides was extremely even, but it was United who emerged victorious thanks to a delicious first-half volley from Bruno Fernandes. United's injury woes remain in place for the clash against the Clarets, with Casemiro set to start alongside Harry Maguire in the heart of defence once again.
Fernandes has been the man of the moment in recent weeks for United, and he started brightly at Old Trafford when he won the hosts a penalty 12 minutes in. The midfielder stepped up to take it, but his spot-kick was saved as the 'keeper stayed in the middle to palm away Fernandes' effort. Some tidy footwork on the left saw Garnacho skip past his marker before taking aim from a tight angle, with his shot forcing the 'keeper into making a save. Muric's save fell back into a dangerous area, and Antony was the quickest to react, with the Brazilian pouncing on the loose ball and firing home to make it 1-0.
