Match Details
Date- Thursday, January 23
Kick-Off- 1:45 AM (IST)
Venue- Old Trafford
Manchester United
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has dealt with another huge blow as talisman Marcus Rashford is out for at least six weeks due to hairline fracture to the back. Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay are also on the sidelines due to injuries alongside Axel Tuanzebe and Marcos Rojo which makes matters worse for the hosts. Eric Bailly should be back in the squad after his recent recovery but might have to settle for the bench. Mason Greenwood and Juan Mata should be in contention of starting with Anthony Martial leading the line of attack.
Burnley
For Sean Dyche, Ashley Barnes and Johann Gudmundsson are the only ones who are ruled out due to injury. The visitors are likely to go with the same starting eleven the featured in the 2-1 win over Leicester City.
MUN (Expected Playing 11)- De Gea; Williams, Maguire, Lindelof; Wan-Bissaka; Fred Matic; James, Mata, Greenwood; Martial
BUR (Expected Playing 11)- Pope; Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Rodriguez, Wood
Anthony Martial will have the onus to lead the attack and be amongst the goals in the absence of Marcus Rashford. Martial has eight goals, three assists and a pass accuracy of 81.6% from 1368 minutes in the league this season.
Chris Wood will be a threat in the attack for Burnley. The centre-forward has nine goals and has a pass accuracy of 63.2% from 21 appearances this season.
Mason Greenwood has displayed glimpses of quality in spite of coming off the bench in various Premier League games. The 18-year-old has four goals from 433 minutes in the league this season.
Dwight McNeil has played a vital role in the midfield for Burnley. McNeil has a goal and four assists with a pass accuracy of 80% from 23 appearances in the league this season.
Though Manchester United has been inconsistent this season, the hosts should be able to get all three points.
