Manchester United’s Premier League run-in features two encounters with teams in danger of relegation – and one of those are Sunday’s opponents Burnley, who are still nervously looking over their shoulder at the drop zone.

The Clarets have pulled away from the bottom three recently yet back-to-back defeats in their latest Premier League fixtures means Sean Dyche and co. can’t rest easy.

United beat Burnley by just one goal back in January and this could be an equally close game.

Yet boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be confident his troops can grind out the required result and maintain their course for a top-four finish this term.

Indeed, the manager could even decide to rest some of his players who featured in the Europa League on Thursday in order to manage his squad though the final few fixtures of the campaign.

Our prediction: Man Utd v Burnley

While Burnley held United to a close battle last time they met, the Clarets actually failed to record a single shot on target at Turf Moor.

And the same pattern could play out once again here. United’s patience will be tested by a Burnley defence which knows how to dig in.

But Solskjaer has plenty of attacking options to choose from and the hosts will eventually breach the Clarets’ back line – although they may have to wait until the second half for that breakthrough.

Our prediction: Man Utd 2-0 Burnley (6/1 at bet365)
