Burnley host Manchester United tonight while they aim to end an 11-match winless streak that has threatened their top-flight survival.
Scott Parker’s side currently sits 19th in the table, six points adrift of safety. Despite a resilient performance in patches recently, the Clarets have struggled to find a clinical edge, picking up only two points from their last 11 outings. Facing a Manchester United side in transition under new interim management, Burnley will be hoping for a repeat of the spirited displays that saw them push elite opposition earlier in the campaign.
Burnley Team News
Burnley are navigating a severe availability crisis with several key first-team players missing through injury and international duty. Josh Cullen, Zeki Amdouni, and Connor Roberts are all sidelined, while Axel Tuanzebe, Hannibal Mejbri, and Lyle Foster are currently at the Africa Cup of Nations.
However, the hosts are optimistic that Maxime Estève will be fit to return to the heart of the defence. Martin Dúbravka will likely continue in goal, while the attacking hopes rest on Jaidon Anthony, who has four league goals this term. Young forward Armando Broja is also expected to lead the line as Parker searches for a way to break Burnley’s scoring drought against the Red Devils.

Burnley predicted XI: Dúbravka; Walker, Ekdal, Estève, Pires; Ugochukwu, Florentino, Laurent; Edwards, Broja, Anthony
