Burnley vs Manchester United Current Form and Standings

Burnley currently sit down in 19th place in the Premier League, with 12 points from their 20 games so far. The Clarets haven't won a game since October 28th, when they picked up a 3-2 win over Wolves, and have actually only managed two points since that win. They will feel like this game is an opportunity, though, playing at home against recently managerless Man Utd.

Man Utd face a game they should win in a period of uncertainty, so they will do well to keep that under wraps and come away with the three points. Last time out saw a 1-1 draw away to another newly promoted side in Leeds United, which the Red Devils will be hoping to put right with a return to winning ways here.

Key Players to Watch: Burnley vs Manchester United

Jaidon Anthony (Burnley): Anthony was in very good form at the start of the season, where he picked up all of his five goal contributions in a five-game period. Since then he has been almost non-existent, and Burnley need him to pick up form again soon.

Matheus Cunha (Man Utd): Cunha rescued a point for Man Utd last time out against Leeds and has been solid for them this season; a pickup in his output would be welcomed going forward, though.
