Burnley team news for United clash: Top goalscorer unavailable and three players sidelined

As for the Clarets, they’ll be without their top goalscorer of the campaign so far Lyle Foster, who has found the back of the net on two occasions this term. He was shown a red card in Monday’s 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, so will serve the first of this three-match suspension.
Vincent Kompany told the media that no other fitness issues have flagged up in his squad leading up to the game, meaning Vitinho could have recovered from his knee problem in time to play the M16 outfit.
Darko Churlinov, Hjalmar Ekdal and Michael Obafemi are all confirmed to be unavailable, so Jay Rodriguez – who has scored against United four times – could lead the line.
