How to watch TV, live stream, kick off time and team news

Burnley welcomes the title by chasing Manchester United at Turf Moor on Tuesday night, with both sides looking to continue good form.

United have positioned themselves as potential Premier League title contenders in recent weeks and currently only sit behind Liverpool on goal difference. Burnley, meanwhile, has been in good contact with himself, losing just one game since early December.

Both teams squeaked in the FA Cup fourth round with narrow wins; United thanks to Scott McTominay’s early goal against Watford, Burnley thanks to a dramatic late equalizer from Matej Vydra which led to a penalty shootout victory against MK Dons.

Anything other than a win for United will be disappointing, especially with a huge game against Liverpool at Anfield ahead. Here is 90 minsgame preview.

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope is Sean Dyche’s main concern, having avoided the Clarets’ FA Cup draw with an ankle injury.

Along with Pope’s injury concerns, the club have four cases linked to Covid-19 – a major issue considering the size of Burnley’s squad. Kevin Long, Charlie Taylor, Dwight McNeil and Jay Rodriguez are the players affected, and there is no confirmation if they are still able to return.

United are unlikely to risk Eric Bailly early on after being taken out with a head injury against Watford. Paul Pogba, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof were all absent from this game and could return to contention, while Edinson Cavani has served his three-game ban.

Burnley: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Brady, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil; Wood, Barnes

Manchester United: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; McTominay, Fred; Rashford, Fernandes, Pogba; Martial.
