Football Bet of the Day: Drama at both ends of Old Trafford

Gloves Off: Burnley will go toe to toe with Manchester United tonight

"Burnley take the stage at the Theatre of Dreams having scored at least twice in 5/6 home and away"

Back 'Yes' in Both Teams to Score @ 2.1411/10 in Man Utd v Burnley

Burnley can light up the Theatre of Dreams, says Tobias Gourlay

Man Utd v Burnley
Wednesday 19:45

Osasuna 0 Zaragoza 1 in Spain yesterday. Sendings off on both sides and now it's us seeing red in the home of the bull run.

Anyway, for all of the jawing about Louis van Gaal's attacking horde not being a cohesive unit, only Arsenal and Chelsea are scoring more frequently at home than Manchester United.

The Red Devils have belted 25 goals in their first 12 outings at Old Trafford, striking three times in four of the last six.

At the other end, David De Gea's brilliance has been widely recognised, but he has kept clean sheets in only 4/12.

Burnley take the stage at the Theatre of Dreams having scored at least twice in 5/6 home and away.

Without the protection of Dean Marney - now out for the season - a defence that has conceded twice or more in 8/9 on the road looks more vulnerable than ever.

Expect Danny Ings and co upfront to be working harder than ever to keep up with all of the defensive lapses.
