Sunday's Premier League predictions including Manchester City vs. Manchester United

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Premier League fixtures, including Manchester City vs. Manchester United.

Having both failed to win a single fixture in February, Burnley and Bournemouth bid to get their March runs off to a flying start in Sunday's Premier League clash at Turf Moor.

Vincent Kompany's men suffered a second-half capitulation in a 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace last weekend, while the Cherries were dumped out of the FA Cup by Leicester City in extra time in midweek.

We say: Burnley 0-1 Bournemouth


Bournemouth had few problems carving out opportunities in their cup clash with Leicester - putting them away was the issue for Iraola's troops - but the potential return of Solanke should provide the Cherries with the touch of ruthlessness which they missed in midweek.

A Burnley side bereft of confidence and prone to poor attacking displays at home could therefore see their winless streak stretch into the double figures, as Bournemouth ease any renewed relegation fears with a narrow success to put another nail in the Clarets' coffin.

Man City vs. Man Utd (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Fans will flock to the Etihad for a mouthwatering Manchester derby on Sunday afternoon, as title-chasing Manchester City tackle long-time adversaries and top-four outsiders Manchester United in the Premier League.

Both teams come into the headline fixture on the back of progression to the FA Cup quarter-finals, as the Citizens demolished Luton Town 6-2 before the Red Devils eked out a 1-0 success over Nottingham Forest.

We say: Manchester City 3-0 Manchester United


Lacking a true number nine in the absence of Hojlund, the stage is set for an injury-hit Man United to endure another humbling afternoon at the home of their bitter rivals, who have also had an extra 24 hours to recover from their FA Cup exploits.

The Red Devils' 100% away record in 2024 should count for nought at a ground where Man City are on the verge of equalling club history, and while another five-goal haul for Haaland may be a pipe dream, the rampant champions should send Ten Hag's men home with their tails tucked between their legs.
