Scott Parker’s side are now without a win in their last 11 games, a run that stretches back to the end of October.

On Wednesday night they face a Manchester United side that sit sixth in the table off the back of a 1-1 draw with their rivals Leeds United on Sunday.

Burnley’s squad continues to look depleted, although they could be boosted by the return of a couple of players from AFCON and potentially one or two from injury.
