Ten minuted left and Memphis Depay is set to be introduced. Can the Dutchman make himself a hero at Old Trafford?
6 - Ander Herrera has been red carded for the first time in the Premier League, having been shown a red card 5 times in La Liga. Previous.

It's all happening at Old Trafford.

United are absolutely hammering Burnley now. It's all last-ditch tackles and great saves from Tom Heaton as the Reds desperately search for the opening goal at Old Trafford.
Barnes has come on for Gray, who was feeling the pace, having not played a lot of late.

Arfield blazes a volleyed effort over the bar after a knocked down from Michael Keane. Burnley are posing a threat in this half, though.

Here's a story: Jose Mourinho appears to have been sent off for protesting the penalty decision late in the first half.
He's in the front row of the stand, and Rui Faria has replaced him on the touchline.
Can't see Mourinho on the touchline. Faria stood there instead. #mufc

Half-time: Manchester United 0-0 Burnley
The hosts have huffed and puffed - but are yet to blow Burnley's house down. More in a bit...

Two chances for United in two minutes, now. Pogba and Ibrahimovic combine - but the Swede's goal-bound effort is blocked by a defender on the line.
Then, Hererra hits a perfect cross into Lingard, whose header is flying towards the top corner before Heaton palms the ball behind.

Herrera has been booked for a late tackle. That's his third yellow of the campaign.
A Burnley breakaway leads to a corner, but Keane heads the ball over the bar and United survive a momentary scare.

A great save from Tom Heaton keeps the scores level. Mata pokes the ball through to Ibrahimovic, but his first-time shot is stopped by the United academy graduate.
The first real moment of quality, that, and it came from Juan Mata, who is looking to pull the strings for the Reds.

As I was saying, Manchester United have confirmed Antonio Valenica has fractured his arm and will undergo surgery today. You can read more on that story here.

As we wait for kick-off at Old Trafford, we hope to bring you a bit more on that injury to Antonio Valenica - which has caught everyone by surprise - in a bit.
In case you missed it, the fullback has injured his arm and has been replaced in the side by Italian defender Matteo Darmian.
Anyway, the teams are in the tunnel and here they come.

It barely seems believable that Juan Mata is the United skipper this afternoon, as he was expected to leave Old Trafford following the arrival of Jose Mourinho. But he's knuckled down and been one of the Reds' better plays so far this season.
5 - Zlatan Ibrahimovic has gone five league games without scoring for the first time since September 2010. Wait.

No space for Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the United bench again today, even though he's fully fit. We've been looking at the Armenian's situation during the week.

By the way, you can follow the last few minutes of Sunderland vs Arsenal here. It's been some game, I can tell you that much.

Breaking team news
And what of Burnley? There's no Steven Defour for the away side at Old Trafford, which is a blow. He's failed to recover from his muscle injury in time.
Burnley: Heaton, Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward, Arfield, Hendrick, Marney, Gudmundsson, Vokes, Gray

Breaking team news
It's a strong-looking United side this afternoon and they are being led by ... Juan Mata. Seems an odd one, that, but never mind.
Manchester United: De Gea, Darmian, Rojo, Blind, Shaw, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard, Mata, Rashford, Ibrahimovic

Team news from Old Trafford will filter though in the next few minutes. In the meantime...
We were 3-1 winners the last time Burnley visited Old Trafford, with a brace from super sub @ChrisSmalling! #MUFC https://t.co/aXPM1AFcLi

Pre-match thoughts
Sean Dyche: "I look at the manager, the club, the players they've got and they're still a super strong group of people operating at the highest level. I'd be very surprised if this group of players is not still a very, very strong group and a group to be reckoned with over the course of the season."

Pre-match thoughts
Jose Mourinho: "Burnley is the same Burnley. It is the same manager, basically the same players, same philosophy, same profile of team and same mentality. We know it will be tough for us, especially because we come in with a run of five matches with two days in between. Finally we will have a Sunday off and a little bit of time until the Fenerbahce match."

Preview
Burnley defeated Everton 2-1 in the last fixture - but have a poor record away from home this season, having lost all of their three fixtures. In addition, they have conceded nine goals and managed to score only one in the process.
Today might just be the day to correct that, eh?
Preview
Manchester United bounced back following their 4-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea in the league by defeating Manchester City 1-0 in the fourth round of the EFL Cup at Old Trafford. They have now progressed to the quarter-final and will face West Ham United at home.
Pep Guardiola's side failed to register even a single shot on target against the Red Devils, who had Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo as the central defenders. What can they do this afternoon?
