Man Utd drew 1-1 away at Leeds in their last match. The Red Devils have been inconsistent recently having only won 2 of their last 7 matches, leading to the sacking of Ruben Amorim.
The last time these two teams met, Man Utd emerged victorious with a 3-2 win at Old Trafford.

Man Utd have won 6 of their last 7 away matches against Burnley in all competitions.
Burnley vs Man Utd Predicted Lineups
Burnley (4-3-3): Dúbravka; Pires, Estève, Ekdal, Walker; Laurent, Florentino, Ugochukwu; Anthony, Broja, Edwards
Man Utd (4-2-3-1): Lammens; Shaw, Martínez, Heaven, Dalot; Fernandes, Casemiro; Cunha, Mount, Dorgu; Sesko
Burnley have a lengthy injury list, with Cullen, Amdouni, Beyer, Roberts, Agyei, Worrall, Flemming, Foster, Tuanzebe and Mejbri all potentially missing. This severely limits Scott Parker's options.
Man Utd also have concerns, with Maguire, de Ligt, Mainoo, Fernandes, Mount, Diallo, Mbeumo and Mazraoui all doubtful or unavailable. Interim manager Darren Fletcher faces a selection headache.

Burnley vs Man Utd Match Prediction
Burnley come into this clash in serious trouble after their defeat at Brighton extended their winless run to 11 Premier League games and left them firmly stuck in the relegation zone.
Historical form offers little encouragement either, with the Clarets failing to beat Manchester United at Turf Moor in their last seven league meetings and scoring just once across that entire run.
United, meanwhile, begin life after Ruben Amorim following his dismissal, with Darren Fletcher stepping in to lead a side that has managed only three league wins since October.
Both teams are badly out of form, but United’s superior individual quality — even in transition — may still give them the edge in what could be a nervy, low-margin contest.
Expect a tight game, with Burnley’s lack of goals and confidence potentially proving costly again.
