Another entertaining contest seems likely when Manchester United hosts Burnley in the Premier League at Old Trafford this weekend. 

Manchester United vs Burnley Betting Tips: BTTS / Over 3.5

While Manchester United could hardly be described as a consistent side, the Red Devils are very much the entertainers' choice with high-scoring outcomes a regular theme for the home side.

After a remarkable 4:3 FA Cup win against Coventry, United returned to EPL action with a 4:2 come-from-behind win against relegation-threatened Sheffield United. Remarkably, Erik Ten Haag´s side have now seen six of their last seven matches finish with both teams scoring at least TWO goals. 

A whopping 36 goals were scored in those seven games with Utd scoring 19 but conceding 17 in a series of rollercoaster contests.

At Old Trafford, the hosts have kept only two clean sheets in their last 11 matches and given recent form, we have to expect more fireworks this weekend.

Burnley make the trip to Manchester still fighting for their Premier League lives. Vincent Kompany´s side scored a huge 4:1 win at Sheffield United last weekend, a result that leaves them just three points behind Nottingham Forest. 

Having seemed near-certs for relegation, the Clarets now have genuine hopes of survival, and they will see this fixture as one they can compete in. The visitors have lost just one of their last seven EPL matches. 

Goals can usually be expected when Burnley hit the road - six of their last eight away EPL games saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored and I´m very confident both outcomes will occur on Saturday.
