Burnley head into Wednesday's clash at Turf Moor under heavy pressure after a 2-0 defeat away to Brighton extended their winless Premier League run to 11 matches, softfootball reported.
Scott Parker's side have picked up just 12 points from 20 games and remain rooted in 19th place, with relegation fears deepening as goals and confidence continue to dry up.
History is also against them, having failed to beat Manchester United at home in their last eight league meetings.
