Thursday's Premier League predictions including Sheffield United vs. Man United

Sports Mole provides score predictions for both of Thursday's Premier League fixtures - Aston Villa vs. Burnley and Sheffield United vs. Manchester United.

Aston Villa and Burnley square off in the Premier League on Thursday evening having both recorded impressive victories at the weekend.

A day after Villa registered a dramatic 1-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Burnley prevailed by the same scoreline against Arsenal.

We say: Aston Villa 3-1 Burnley


After their respective performances at the weekend, both sides will be confident of recording back-to-back wins. However, Villa will be expecting a defensive-minded performance from the visitors, and Smith's outfit could capitalise if they are able to seize the initiative during the opening stages.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Sheff Utd vs. Man Utd (Thursday, 8.00pm)

Sheffield United will renew their search for a long overdue first win of the season when they face Manchester United at Bramall Lane on Thursday night.

The Blades have picked up just one point from their opening 12 games - the worst start in Premier League history - and welcome a side with a flawless away record so far this season.

We say: Sheffield United 0-2 Manchester United


Everything points to a Manchester United win in this match as the league's worst home record takes on the best away record.

The Red Devils' form on the road in the league is remarkable considering the lack of consistency elsewhere and it will surely only be a matter of time before their winning run ends, but it is difficult to see that happening at the home of a team which is on course to go down as one of the worst in top-flight history.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
