Manchester United team have only one defeat in the last 17
matches in all competitions. That was against Southampton four league
rounds ago. Last matchday Daley Blind scored a 92nd-minute goal for
Manchester United to secure a dramatic 1-1 draw against West Ham,
although Louis van Gaal might rue a missed chance to reclaim third place
in the Barclays Premier League table. The Red Devils sit on the 4th
position, only one point behind Southampton. Tottenham are just behind
them on one point difference, so there is no space for relaxation.
However, the atmosphere at Old Trafford is much better now and Van Gaal
is free of the pressure. Man United have won the
last two home games in which they scored exactly three goals per match.
They are on second place in the home standings with nine wins, one draw
and two defeats, a goal difference of 25:9 and 28 points.
Last round Burnley earned their first point in
the last 4 matches with a draw at home against West Brom although
Burnley were two up after 32 minutes through Ashley Barnes and Danny
Ings. The point was enough for Burnley to climb back
out of the relegation zone but they desperately needed all three with an
extremely tough run of fixtures coming up. Things remain tight at the
foot of the table with just seven points separating the bottom seven
teams. The draw also helped them to end a run of two defeats in a row in
the league despite the team scoring two goals per match. One of those
matches was against Crystal Palace at home. Even they have lead over
Crystal Palace, they lost the match just before the end of the game.
Away from home, they are currently on 18th place in the away standings
with one win, four draws and six defeats, a goal difference of 10:22 and
7 points.
