Team News:
- Lisandro Martinez is injured and will not be in action for Manchester United. Noussair Mazraoui is still not match-fit to compete.
- Connor Roberts, Jordan Beyer and Zeki Amdouni are injured. They will not all be in action for Burnley. Due to a lack of fitness, the club might also miss out on Armando Broja, Axel Tuanzebe and Bashir Humpryes.
Player(s) to watch:
- Bryan Mbeumo did all in his power for Man United, but it was not enough to get the Red Devils a win in their EFL Cup fixture. He is going to play a crucial part for his side in the final third. Mbeumo can control the midfield and can definitely score goals. It will be interesting to see his performance here.
- Jaidon Anthony was one of the goal scorers for the Clarets in their 2-0 win against Sunderland and is going to play an important role in the attacking front yet again. Jaidon Anthony has scored one goal and has an assist to his name in two league games this season as of now.
