It's been a very bright start from Burnley but they almost fall behind. McTominay sees a low shot from just inside the area blocked after good build up down the right.

Wow! Burnley have the ball in the net within seconds as Wood beats Henderson to a ball from the right and heads home. The forward was offside though and it won't count.

Sean Dyche: “We’ve had a few good results there in recent seasons, but it’s still an incredibly difficult place to go. United are in good form again this season, having put a lot of wins together and being unbeaten in 23 or so. They’re a good outfit, and you have to go there are respect them, for sure. But when the whistle blows, respect goes out of the window and that’s how I want my team to think.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on United’s unlikely hopes of winning the title: “Of course we will never give up. Man United will never ever give up. This team, this club has had too many setbacks, too many great comebacks to have that in our DNA. But is it realistic, no because when you have a team so consistent as Man City have been you don’t expect them to lose three games out of the last six but as long as we do our job we know we want to finish the season strong. So one game at a time.”

Burnley are unbeaten in their past four Premier League away games against Manchester United (W1 D3). The only team to avoid defeat in five consecutive Premier League visits to Old Trafford is Chelsea, who did so in six consecutive fixtures between 1994 and 1998.
