Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s team have been poor travellers this season, but will hope to improve their away record and boost their top-four hopes at a ground where they have lost once since 1968

Manchester United have won two of nine away league games this season – and one of those came at Manchester City. The short trip to Burnley offers a chance for United to get over their travel sickness; they have lost only once at Turf Moor in 13 visits, a run that dates back to 1968. Paul Pogba looks set to start for the first time since September owing to Scott McTominay injuring his knee against Newcastle. Niall McVeigh
