In his weekly predictions piece for BBC Sport, Lawrenson has backed the Red Devils to go top of the Premier League this evening with three points.

Discussing his reasoning further, the 63-year-old said: Manchester United have got a few injury problems, with midfielder Paul Pogba and defenders Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly and Luke Shaw all doubts.

“I still think they will have enough to beat Burnley, though.

“The Clarets are in good form, especially at Turf Moor where they have taken 10 points from the past 12 available to help their climb out of the bottom three.

“But Manchester United have impressed on the road this season and I am backing them to get another win this time.”

Burnley have lost just once in their last six league games and will move eight points above the relegation zone with three points.
