Manchester United v Burnley: match preview

Manchester United v Burnley
Manchester United v Burnley: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Will the derby win over Manchester City be a turning point for José Mourinho and United? Perhaps, but anything less than a convincing win here would see the doom-merchants back out in force. Burnley may have recorded a couple of notable home scalps, against Liverpool and Everton, but they have struggled away from Turf Moor, conceding three in all three of their games on the road.
