Struggling Burnley head to Old Trafford to take on an in-form Manchester United side this Sunday, and a win for The Red Devils could move them within 8 points of leaders Manchester City.

The Clarets threw away yet another lead last time out, losing 2-1 to Newcastle, after an early Matej Vydra goal.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have won their last four in the league, and are unbeaten since a shock defeat to Sheffield United back in January.

Sean Dyche's men have a good record when playing this weekend's hosts away from home, taking points from the Theatre of Dreams on their past four visits, so this won't be a 'walk in the park' for United.

In the reverse fixture, Solskjaer's men claimed the victory, in a hard fought game that was won with a volley from Paul Pogba, in the 71st minute.

His aerial prowess will be sure to challenge a Burnley defence that is extremely competent at clearing crosses.

Matej Vydra has really cemented his place in Sean Dyche's plans and has created a partnership with New Zealand striker Chris Wood.

Vydra netted once again last week in the loss to Newcastle, and his speed gives Burnley a different option if their gameplan fails to come off.

The Czech Republic striker also struck a fine finish against Southampton as he has adapted his game to suit the Premier League.
