What is at stake for Burnley vs. Manchester United?

Burnley are in desperate need of a victory as they continue the fight for Premier League survival, with the Clarets currently embarking on a miserable 11-game winless run and trailing safety by six points. 

A victory could see Scott Parker's side close the gap on 17th-placed Nottingham Forest to just three points, and they come up against Manchester United at an ideal time.

Ruben Amorim is once again under increasing pressure at the Red Devils, enduring yet another lacklustre run of just one win from their last five games, while performances have beer largely subpar in recent weeks. 

However, the Red Devils remain just outside the top five on goal difference and only three points behind the top four, so a win could see them move into the Champions League places.
