Manchester United would want to make a clear statement and anything short of a defeat at Turf moor can take them to the top spot in the Premier League.
This can be a welcome change from the mixed bag of luck that they have had in domestic competitions recently. The Red Devils will look on to put out a much more solid display and De Gea should be manning the posts once again.
Before the Semi loss to Manchester City, the red devils came into some exciting form and they would look to continue that at Turf Moor.
WHEN AND WHERE?
Date – 12 January Thursday
Time – 9:15 PM BST
Venue – Turf Moor
TEAM NEWS
The Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani Just finished his 3-game ban and could very well be set to make an appearance as Manchester United could do with some attacking strength as they have only scored 1 goal in their previous 2 encounters.
Many of the first team players should return to the team as opposed to the line-up that was fielded out against Watford.
RECENT FORM
Manchester United form: D-W-W-L-W
Burnley form: D-W-L-W-W
KEY BATTLE
Bruno Fernandes vs Nick Pope
While Bruno had a comparatively quiet night in the domestic competitions, he will be pumped up to make his mark again.
Nick Pope will have to be at his best and all of us know that on his day even the best in the business find it difficult to slot it past him.
MATCH PREDICTION
Solskjaer’s men are in fine form in the Premier League despite the hiccups of the domestic competition but it looks very probable that Manchester united can go ahead of Liverpool at the top of the table with either a win or a draw.
Burnley has also gained some momentum with just a single loss in their last 5 games in every competition but will their resolute defence be able to stand the test against a Manchester United that is in red hot form and looking to decimate their opposition.
We predict that the red devils will defeat Burnley by a scoreline of 2-0.
