Manchester United v Burnley Predictions and Preview
Solskjaer has been trans-formative in his time at Old Trafford, with a 3-1 win away at Arsenal in the FA Cup last week his biggest achievement yet. It is back to league duty in midweek, and with six league wins already, under the Norweigan, they look in consistent mood ahead of Burnley.
Dyche's side look to have turned a corner in terms of relegation fears, but they have won just once in their last eight Premier League away games. That is a damning statistic for the Lancashire side ahead of the short trip into Manchester, and Dyche knows their key points will be won elsewhere this season.
Solskjaer should make it nine wins on the bounce, as he furthers his case to be given the job on a permanent basis, and a United win is at 1/4.
In front of their home fans, United have been in great form, scoring 11 goals at Old Trafford since he came in, and they should continue that on Tuesday night - with an over 2.5 total goals scored bet available at 8/15.
Recommended Bets
Manchester United to win 3-0 at 8/1
United look a new team under Solskjaer, with their forward players attacking with freedom and scoring goals for fun as they climb the table. They now have a real chance of sneaking into the top four, and that will require a statement in this match.
Marcus Rashford to score anytime at 10/11
England international Rashford has really benefited from Solskjaer's arrival, and he is bang in form ahead of this game. He has five goals in the eight games under the new regime, and his speed and finishing ability will cause real problems for Burnley.
