Players to watch:

Zeki Amdouni (Burnley):

Zeki Amdouni opened the scoring against Nottingham Forest last matchday. He will be hoping to do the damage again; he’s attempted the most shots in the competition for Burnley this season alongside Foster (seven). The young Swiss international has been a bright player for the struggling Burnley side this season, he's the next superstar coming from Switzerland.

Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United)

After missing the start of the season due to injury, Hojlund has appeared in three games since then, all of the three games have resulted in heavy defeats. No matter what the result has been for the club, he has been a positive sign in attack for Erik ten Hag; he made his Champions League debut against Bayern and scored his first goal for the club.

Match facts:

• Erik ten Hag's team have now conceded at least two goals in their last five matches.
• Burnley are still yet to pick up a win on their return to the Premier League.
• Manchester United's early season struggles have continued with just two wins in six matches in all competitions this season.

Erik ten Hag will be boosted by a number of returning players ahead of Sunday's clash. The likes of Raphael Varane and Mason Mount could return to the squad, while Sofyan Amrabat could be in line to make his first appearance for the club. Even though Harry Maguire was in the Champions League squad, he is expected to miss the match with a muscle issue.

Lyle Foster, the club's highest goal scorer in the league right now will start his three-game ban here, having been sent off in the draw at Nottingham Forest on Monday night. Vincent Kompany will remain without Michael Obafemi, Darko Churlinov and Hjalmar Ekdal, while Vitinha is a minor doubt.

Match Prediction for Manchester United vs Burnley:

Vincent Kompany's side thought they had taken a late lead against Nottingham Forest on Monday evening, but a VAR decision saw them settle for a point. Despite heading into this one after three consecutive defeats, United should take the points in what is sure to be a close contest, which would ease the increasing pressure on manager Ten Hag following four defeats in their opening six games of the season. Burnley will look to get a point atleast against a better looking side.

Prediction: Burnley 1-3 Manchester United
