Team News and Current Form
The clash comes at a turbulent time for both clubs. Manchester United have recently parted ways with boss Ruben Amorim after a poor run of form that saw just one victory in their last five outings.
There is a potential boost for the Red Devils, however, as key players Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount could return from injury for the trip to Lancashire.
For Burnley, the situation is equally desperate. The Clarets are 11 games without a win and are in dire need of three points to aid their fight for Premier League survival. Their task is made harder by a significant injury crisis, with the potential absence of up to 11 first-team players. Winger Mike Tresor is confirmed to be missing after sitting out the weekend's fixture against Brighton.
When the sides last met at Old Trafford in August, United secured a dramatic 3-2 victory thanks to a 97th-minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes. Both teams will be hoping for a result that can spark a change in fortune for the remainder of the season.
