Manchester United will look to close the gap to fourth-placed Chelsea to just three points on Wednesday, when they play host to Burnley. United emerged triumphant when these sides faced off at Turf Moor over the festive period, and a repeat performance would be just the ticket for an under-pressure Ole Gunnar Solskjær. That day, Marcus Rashford got himself on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win, though the recent news that he faces over a month on the sidelines with a back injury has come as a serious blow.
He joins Victor Lindelöf, Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay and Marcos Rojo on the sidelines, meaning both Mason Greenwood and Juan Mata may be handed starts. Burnley, who currently sit four points clear of the relegation zone, are without only Ashley Barnes and Jóhann Guðmundsson.
