Back Premier League: Burnley vs Manchester United preview

Manchester United visit Burnley on Saturday and the match has great importance for the visitors because of their terrible start to the season. The Red Devils have grabbed just one point out of their first two Premier League matches of the season before suffering a shock 4-0 defeat in the Capital One Cup at the hands of League One side MK Dons. Manchester United have completed the record signing of Real Madrid's Angel Di Maria and the Argentinian winger could make his debut on Saturday.

Burnley are not doing much better either, they have lost both their Premier League games since the start of the season and then lost to Sheffield United in the League Cup. However, last time they were in the Premier League (in 2009) Burnley recorded their first win of the season against Manchester United, so they will be hoping for a repeat.

Chris Smalling, Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw, Michael Carrick, Marouane Fellaini, Shinji Kagawa and Jesse Lingard are all sidelined for the Red Devils, while Danny Welbeck will miss out again as he seems set to leave the club.

Probable starting line-ups:

Burnley: Heaton - Trippier, Duff, Shackell, Ward - Arfield, Marney, Jones, Taylor - Ings, Jutkiewicz

Man Utd: De Gea - Jones, Evans, Rojo - Valencia, Cleverley, Fletcher, Young, Di Maria - Mata, Rooney

My prediction: Manchester United to win 2-1.

Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:

Burnley win - 5/1 Draw - 16/5 Manchester United win - 8/13
