Manchester United is unbeaten in its last six games with a 3-0-3 record, including wins in each of its last three matches. The club will try to pick up a fourth straight win this Saturday on the road against Burnley.

Manchester United is a -180 road favorite at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Burnley would pay +575 on an outright upset at home and +280 if it is able to force a draw.

Both of these teams are strong in their own end. Manchester United is tied for first in goals against with 16, and Burnley is fourth with 20. However, United has the clear edge on offense with 48 goals to Burnley’s 19 this season. Burnley has played to a draw in three of its last five matches with Manchester United.

Manchester City’s stranglehold on the Premier League championship has loosened ever so slightly in recent weeks. City was going off at -10000 to win the league title and looked invincible at 20-0-1, but that invincibility is no longer intact after the club played to a draw against Crystal Palace and lost outright 4-3 to Liverpool last weekend.

Manchester City, though, still holds a 12-point lead over second-place Manchester United and is still the clear favorite to win the league title at -3300. This Saturday, Manchester City is a -950 favorite at home over Newcastle United (+2100 to win, +850 to draw).

Bettors who believe that Manchester City’s recent slip-ups could be the sign of a major collapse can still find some betting value on the top-five teams in the standings. Manchester United is going off at +3300 to win the league championship, followed by Liverpool (+4500), Chelsea (+10000), and Tottenham Hotspur (+12500).

Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool are all road favorites this week with Chelsea (-170) visiting Brighton and Hove Albion (+525 to win, +275 to draw) on Saturday, Tottenham (-165) visiting Southampton (+450 to win, +290 to draw) on Sunday, and Liverpool (-350) going to Swansea City (+1000 to win, +450 to draw) on Monday.

Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool are tied for the second best road record in the EPL at 6-2-3.
