Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Burnley and Manchester United at Turf Moor!
United are looking to try and close the gap to the top four with a win in their final game of 2019 and have lost just one of their last eight matches in all competitions (W5 D2), though that defeat did come in their last away game against Watford (2-0). Burnley, on the other hand, have lost three of their last five matches (W2), including their last outing against Everton when they lost 1-0.
BURNLEY STARTING XI (4-4-2): Nick Pope; Phil Bardsley, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Charlie Taylor; Jeff Hendrick, Ashley Westwood, Jack Cork, Dwight McNeil; Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes.
BURNLEY SUBS: Joe Hart, Danny Drinkwater, Kevin Long, Robbie Brady, Matthew Lowton, Jay Rodriguez, Johann Gudmundsson.
MANCHESTER UNITED STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Ashley Young, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Brandon Williams; Fred, Nemanja Matic; Daniel James, Andreas Pereira, Marcus Rashford; Anthony Martial.
MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Sergio Romero, Mason Greenwood, Phil Jones, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Dyche will be expecting more from his players in the second half if they want to get back into the game. They had just one shot in the first half, which Barnes sliced wide, but haven't created any other chances. As for Solskjaer, he'll be pleased with how his side played, but he'll be expecting them to keep up the pressure after the break to try and add to their lead.
That win means that United move to fifth in the table, now just one point off Chelsea who don't play until tomorrow. Next up for Solskjaer's team is a trip to Arsenal on Wednesday. Burnley drop to 13th and Dyche will be hoping that his side can get back to winning ways when they face Aston Villa next time out.
