Manchester United and Burnley will lock horns today in the Premier League and Jose Mourinho’s men will have to up their game against a high-flying Clarets team.
Jose Mourinho and his side will be desperate to return to winning ways when they welcome local rivals Burnley to Old Trafford on Boxing Day.
Manchester United surrendered a lead in the last minute against Leicester City prior to Christmas.
Jose Mourinho called his players ‘childish’ after the game against the Foxes and the Portuguese will no doubt be demanding a much more ruthless display on Tuesday afternoon.
Team news: Manchester United have a number of their defenders nursing injuries. Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling and Matteo Darmian are out of action, while Antonio Valencia is also a concern.
Also, midfielder Marouane Fellaini is among the wounded, while Michael Carrick is unlikely to feature.
Potential Manchester United starting XI: De Gea; Lindelof, Jones, Rojo, Young; Pogba, Matic, Mata, Lingard, Rashford; Lukaku.
For Burnley, manager Sean Dyche will be without James Tarkowski through suspension.
Also, Robbie Brady, Stephen Ward and Dean Marney are all ruled out due to injury.
Striker Chris Wood is expected to return after he was taken off during the first half in last week’s defeat to Tottenham.
Potential Burnley starting XI: Pope; Taylor, Mee, Long, Bardsley; Gudmunsson, Defour, Cork, Arfield, Hendrick; Wood.
