After an impressive fourth-round victory over old nemesis Arsenal in the FA Cup, Manchester United host relegation-threatened Burnley at the Theatre of Dreams on Tuesday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his men are on a relentless run with eight consecutive victories in 8 matches for the Red Devils. The Norweign has overseen a complete transformation among his players since his appointment with all of his players being given the freedom to express themselves and play their natural game. A win on Tuesday will see the Red Devils same on points with Chelsea on 47 points.
After a very poor start to the season, the Clarets are finally hitting form at the right time of the year. Last season's overachievers, Burnley won just 4 of their 23 matches in the league before Christmas and were languishing in the relegation zone with 12 points. The midweek 5-0 thumping by Manchester City in the FA Cup is not likely to affect Sean Dyche and his men with the Clarets looking to secure safety.
The first encounter between both the sides ended with Manchester United winning 2-0 at Turf Moor with 10 men after Marcus Rashford was given the marching orders.
