The 12-time Cup winner and 20-time England champion started the tournament with a tough win over Wolverhampton in two matches, then defeated Tranmere Rovers (6-0), Derby County (3-0) and a month ago it defeated Norwich (2: 1) in extratime, not without difficulty. The third-largest club in the world has not been able to compete with Liverpool and City in the battle for the first position in terms of revenue this season and there is still a fight to reach the Champions League. After 36 rounds of the current Premier League season, Manchester United has 17 victories and 11 world wins, which brought 62 points and the fifth position. The third Chelsea have only 63 points. The defense of “Manchester United” is the second best in the league, but the attack line is far from the leaders’ indicators, only 63 goals are scored. The main goalscorers of the team are Rashford and Martial (17 goals each). The Reds spend their summer session without defeat. Only two draws and four wins. In July, Solskjaer’s players beat Bournemouth (5: 2), Aston Villa (3: 0) and Crystal Palace (2: 0). Jones, Tuanzebe, Williams and Shaw will not be able to take part in today’s match.
Burnley is one of the oldest clubs in England, which won a league title twice and is also one of the few teams to have won all four professional divisions in England. By the way, there are only five such teams in the country. After 36 rounds of the current season, Burnley has 14 wins and nine draws, which brought 51 points and a place in the TOP-10 of the Premier League, which is a very worthy result for the Lancashire team. The defense indicators are quite modest and the attack line was able to score 40 goals. The team’s main snipers are Wood (12 goals) and Rodriguez (eight goals). Such a result was obtained by guests after a great performance in the summer period of the tournament, when after the defeat at the start from Manchester City (0: 5), the burgundy ended three matches in a draw and won three victories – over Watford (1: 0) , Crystal Palace (1: 0) and West Ham (1: 0), for which we made a forecast. It should be noted that apart from the crushing defeat, all other fights ended in a lower outcome. Barnes, Cork, Lawton, Mee, Rodriguez and Taylor will not be able to play tonight.
