  • Bournemouth were involved in a stunning 4-4 draw at Manchester United on Monday

  • Burnley's run of seven straight defeats has left them six points from safety

  • Recommended bet: Draw or Burnley double chance

Bournemouth's winless streak in the Premier League continued on Monday as they drew 4-4 in a spectacular clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Cherries are expected to take maximum points from Saturday's home fixture against struggling Burnley, who have lost their last seven league games.

Only tailed-off Wolves are below the Clarets in the table so manager Scott Parker will be desperate for his side to take advantage of Bournemouth's patchy form.

Team news

Bournemouth will be without the injured Tyler Adams and Ben Gannon-Doak while Ryan Christie and Veljko Milosavljevic are also expected to miss out.

Lewis Cook returns from a ban and Antoine Semenyo is available as Ghana failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Burnley's Axel Tuanzebe, Lyle Foster and Hannibal Mejbri are on AFCON duty.

Kyle Walker and Lucas Pires return from suspension but Zeki Amdouni, Jordan Beyer, Connor Roberts, Enock Agyei and Bashir Humphreys are injured.

The stats

Bournemouth have kept four clean sheets in eight home league fixtures.

The Cherries are winless in seven league matches.

Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi has scored five goals in just 423 minutes of Premier League playing time.

All eight of Burnley's away matches this season have had over 2.5 goals.

The Clarets have scored in six of their seven away defeats.

Burnley have lost nine of their last 11 Premier League matches.

Prediction

Bournemouth have not won any of their last seven Premier League matches while Burnley have lost their last seven so neither camp will be full of confidence going into this clash.

At the prices, though, the Clarets are worth backing to avoid defeat on the south coast as Bournemouth have struggled for goals on their own patch this season.

Their away matches average 4.75 goals per game, helped by Monday's eight-goal thriller at Old Trafford, but that figure drops to 1.88 at the Vitality Stadium.

Andoni Iraola's men had to come back from 2-0 down to draw with lowly West Ham last month before a 1-0 defeat to Everton and a 0-0 draw with Chelsea in their last two home fixtures.

Their recent lean spell means they should be opposed at cramped odds as Burnley's defence is boosted by the return from suspension of full-backs Walker and Pires.

The Clarets have scored in seven of their eight away matches and displayed plenty of spirit in this month's 2-1 defeat at Newcastle, where Pires was sent off in the first half.

They showed some attacking quality in last weekend's 3-2 home defeat to Fulham and should be encouraged by Bournemouth's shaky defending at Old Trafford on Monday.
