Burnley vs Manchester United – Easy 3 points for the taking

Solskjaer's side suffered a 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup on January 6 but have been in excellent form in the Premier League, winning eight of their previous ten outings to gallop to the 2nd spot. Back-to-back wins over Wolves and Aston Villa, coupled with a 1-1 draw to Liverpool have put United on level with Jurgen Klopp's men on 33 but with a game in hand.

As for team news, Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope is expected to recover from an ankle injury and feature in Tuesday night's home game, but Will Norris is the standby custodian if the England international does not pass the fitness test.

Dwight McNeil could return from a groin problem, but key players like Charlie Taylor, Kevin Long and Jay Rodriguez are all expected to remain absent. Midfielders Josh Brownhill and Ashley Westwood who were rested in the win over MK Dons should return to the starting XI and so should the front two Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood.

Victor Lindelof, Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw who sustained minor injuries in the FA Cup win over Watford on Saturday could all return to start at Turf Moor.

Eric Bailly could battle for fitness after having collided with Dean Henderson during the fixture against Watford.  Edinson Cavani who has now served his three-game suspension, could be in contention for a start on Tuesday night. Alex Telles and Axel Tuanzebe could yet keep their spots in the XI depending on the fitness of Shaw and Lindelof.
