Burnley’s expected lineup against. Manchester United, with Vincent Kompany facing a striker issue with Lyle Foster suspended – gallery
Burnley travel to Turf Moor on Saturday night in search of their first league victory of the season against a struggling Manchester United team.
After three straight defeats, Vincent Kompany’s side got off to a good start with a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest on Monday night, when Burnley were unlucky not to win.
Lyle Foster was sent off during stoppage time during that game, and he is presently serving the first game of a three-game suspension.
Keeping that in mind, here’s how we believe the Clarets will line up…
