Ole confirmed that Shaw, Lindelof and Pogba missed the FA Cup game with injuries but seemed to suggest it was short term rather than long term so they might be back and I think this is the last game of Cavani's ban. Bailly went off injured at the weekend apparently it was a neck issue rather than a concussion so who knows if he's been patched up or not.
Burnley rested a lot of players in the FA Cup to we both played Saturday so it's a rapid turn around for both teams Utd also had the midweek game the previous week whereas Burnley didn't so there first team will be well rested.
Burnley has started to pick up results after a poor start as they always seem to do things start to click for them and they can be a tricky opponent if you don't take your chances they have a top class keeper and up top they fight and scrap for everything and have a threat on set pieces.
So for Utd it's simple a draw or win puts them out right top of the league going into the weekend clash with Liverpool so surely no more motivation is required for this one. Liverpool don't have to play mid week so they'll be well rested ahead of the weekend.
It's hard to pick an XI until we know who is fit my guess is based on the assumption that everyone is fit think he'll go quite attacking with only 1 holding player.
DDG
AWB Bailly Maguire Telles
Fred Pogba
Greenwood Bruno Rashford
Martial
Big risk currently is Maguire is one yellow card away from a ban gets booked tomorrow and he misses Anfield I know he's not everyones cup of tea but he's the best we've got so an important player.
