Burnley vs Manchester United confirmed line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture tonight

United looking to build on Boxing Day victory over Newcastle

Manchester United will be hoping to work their way up the table when they take on Burnley this evening.

After a 2-0 defeat by Watford stripped the side of their momentum, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are now attempting to rediscover the sort of form that saw them beat both Tottenham and Man City in back-to-back matches earlier this month.

United beat Newcastle 4-1 in their last outing, and will fancy their chances today against a team that has succumbed to four losses in their last six games.

Burnley may be 12th in the league but are in need of an encouraging run of results to lift spirits at Turf Moor.

Prediction

Burnley have had an indifferent season so far, having notched up more defeats than victories. Their form against the so-called ‘top six’ leaves plenty to be desired, too. United, on the other hand, are infuriatingly consistent – and it’s hard to know which side will turn up at Turf Moor. If the visitors are on form, though, this is a clash they should dominate.
