BURNLEY’s busy fixture list continues as they welcome Manchester United to Turf Moor on Tuesday night (KO 7:45pm).

Sean Dyche’s men were held to a goalless draw against Watford over the weekend as new signing Wout Weghorst made his Premier League debut.

Team news

Charlie Taylor is unlikely to feature as he continues his recovery from a foot injury, while Ashley Barnes needs more game time.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Matej Vydra will both be out for a matter of weeks following their respective surgeries.

As for the visitors, Fred and Alex Telles are both unavailable after testing positive for Covid-19 but Raphael Varane should be fit.

Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho have both overcome minor problems, while Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly will be assessed.

Opposition lowdown

United sit fourth in the Premier League table, having picked up 38 points from their opening 22 matches.

The Red Devils have won their last two matches in the league following victories against Brentford and West Ham.

However, they enter the game on the back of a shock defeat against Middlesbrough on penalties in the FA Cup fourth round.

Head-to-head

  • Burnley have faced United 133 times in their history, with a record of 45 wins, 23 draws and 65 defeats
  • The Clarets’ last win in the fixture came in January 2020 when Chris Wood and Jay Rodriguez were on target in a 2-0 victory

Last meeting

Ralf Rangnick’s men ran out 3-1 winners when the sides met at Old Trafford earlier this season.

The hosts took an early lead through Scott McTominay, who found the bottom corner with a ruthless strike from the edge of the box.

United doubled their lead when Jaden Sancho’s low cross went in off Ben Mee, before Cristiano Ronaldo added a third from close range.

Aaron Lennon pulled one back seven minutes before the break, beating David de Gea with a superb strike.
