It’s a big game for…

Andre Gray. The Burnley striker is returning from a four-match ban for homophobic tweets made during his days at non-league Hinckley United. The Clarets have struggled for goals this season, so will be looking to last season’s Championship top scorer for assistance.

Best stat…

Despite failing to set the world alight in the last few years, Manchester United's last goalless draw at Old Trafford was against Chelsea on 28 December last year.

Remember when…

A Robbie Blake piledriver saw Burnley defeat United 1-0 in August 2009 for their first top-flight victory in 33 years?

Player to watch…

Johann Berg Gudmundsson. The Icelander had a storming game against Everton, producing a sumptuous flick for the first goal and crashing a superb curling shot against the bar in the build-up to the winner against the Merseysiders. Played a part in England’s downfall at Euro 2016.
