Burnley vs Manchester United Preview

Burnley vs Manchester United, Wednesday 19 August 2009, Turf Moor, Kick-Off: 19:45

Burnley

Newly promoted side Burnley enter this match after losing their opening league encounter 2-0 to Stoke on the road.

Both Steven Caldwell and Michael Duff look to miss this match against Man Utd through injury.

Manchester United

Manchester United got their season off on the right foot with a 1-0 victory over Birmingham at Old Trafford.

Man Utd still have a lengthy injury list with Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Edwin van der Sar, and Owen Hargreaves amongst the injured.

Prediction

Although only winning by a 1-0 scoreline, Man Utd began the season with confidence whilst Burnley went down 2-0 to an impressive Stoke side.

Burnley won their last five matches at home last season in the Championship, so there is still hope that they could pull off a result against Man Utd on Wednesday night.

Unfortunately for them, it would take a massive performance to achieve even a point against United, as the Red Devils enter the match as heavy favourites to win.
