Burnley vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more tonight

Follow all the action as Burnley welcome Manchester United to Turf Moor in the Premier League this evening.

Sean Dyche’s side are embroiled in a relegation battle and currently sit bottom of the table, although they have played at least two games fewer than their closest rivals. Burnley missed the chance to kickstart their survival bid in a disappointing 0-0 draw against fellow strugglers Watford last weekend as January signing Wout Weghorst made his debut up front. The Clarets are still only three points adrift of safety, though, and Dyche hopes the club can take advantage of the disruption and disharmony at United.

Ralf Rangnick’s squad have been rocked by the arrest of Mason Greenwood, while Jesse Lingard publicly questioned the head coach’s assertion that he asked for time off after being denied a deadline day move to Newcastle. United were then knocked out of the FA Cup by Middlesbrough on penalties in the fourth round last weekend in a disjointed performance. United do still have strong hopes of securing a Champions League spot this season and currently sit in fourth, although both Arsenal and Tottenham boast games in hand.

Burnley 0 – 1 Man Utd

36 mins: Burnley have yet to register a shot in this game. They’ve moved the ball into some decent areas but haven’t put David De Gea under pressure. It’s all a bit too easy for Manchester United at the minute.

Diogo Dalot goes on a driving run from the right wing. He brings the ball into the middle of the box and sets up Bruno Fernandes. Fernandes attempts to open up the far bottom corner but can only scuff a shot straight at Nick Pope.

33 mins: SAVE! What a save this is from Nick Pope! Fernandes sweeps the ball over to Sancho on the left wing. He brings the ball up to the penalty area and slips in Shaw who makes an underlapping run into the box. Shaw’s cross is deflected and loops to the back post where Edinson Cavani waits for it to drop. He nods the ball towards the near post but Pope scurries across his line and leaps in front of the headed effort to keep the ball out!

21 mins: Disallowed goal! Sancho brings the ball down the left wing and runs into trouble. He knocks it back to Shaw who swings a decent cross into the far side of thr box. Pogba and Mee tussle with each other as they try to win the aerial ball but it drops over both of them and comes to Rashford. He pulls it back into the six-yard area where the ball hits Mee and crosses the line!

Then the flag goes up and the assistant referee says that Pogba fouled Mee in the build up.

17 mins: So, we’re back on level terms. Dwight McNeil drifts inside from his position on the wing and collects the ball. Maxwel Cornet makes a run in behind Diogo Dalot as McNeil threads the ball through the United backline. The pass is heavy though and Cornet can’t get to it before it runs out of play.

NO GOAL! Varane’s opener chalked off

14 mins: Drama! VAR takes a look at the goal and spots something to overrule the goal. Harry Maguire was in an offside position as Bruno Fernandes crossed the free kick into the box. Maguire then cam back onside and blocked Jay Rodriguez from matching Raphael Varane’s run. From an offside position Maguire interfered with the play and so the referee has ruled out Man Utd’s opener.
