Burnley entered the match in the middle of this week after losing 0-2 to Brighton in the opening round of the 2026 New Year. That was the 11th consecutive match Scott Parker's team had not known the taste of victory.
The last time Turf Moor witnessed a positive signal was from mid-October 2025, when Burnley won two consecutive victories against Leeds (2-0) and Wolves (3-2).
A poor streak of form lasting more than two months pushed Burnley to the penultimate position with only 12 points. The gap of 6 points with the safe group is not too large. However, as the season has entered the second leg and the decline shows no signs of stopping, the risk of Parker's team being relegated is unavoidable.
Burnley's next challenge is Manchester United - the team that just decided to sack Ruben Amorim after the draw with Leeds. That is the second consecutive draw of the "Red Devils" against opponents in the lower half of the rankings, after the previous draw with Wolves.
Although still ranked 6th and only behind the Champions League qualifying group in extra points, Man United's playing style under Amorim is considered poor, lacking ideas. And that is why the Portuguese coach's seat is no longer guaranteed after more than a year in power.
Burnley once had a historic moment in August 2009, when they won their first home win against Man United in the Premier League era with a score of 1-0.
However, since that milestone, the home team at Turf Moor has not been able to repeat the joy. In the last eight encounters with the "Red Devils", Burnley has not won any match (6 defeats) and has only scored one goal.
