Manchester United will go head-to-head against Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday night in a crucial Premier League encounter.
Despite leading the game, Ralf Rangnick’s side had to endure a disappointing defeat against Middlesbrough in penalties. After getting eliminated from the F.A Cup, the Red Devils’ chance of achieving any silverware is looking pretty thin.
Meanwhile, the Clarets are enduring a difficult season this term as they are currently sitting at the bottom of the table with 13 points in 19 games.
Sean Dyche’s side will be coming into this fixture with the back of a 10 games winless streak in all competitions. And they will be looking to break their winless streak against a struggling United team in front of their home crowd.
Burnley lost the game by 3-1 in the reverse fixture against the Old Trafford side and they will be keen on taking revenge for that defeat.
