Stones and Fernandinho help City beat Manchester United in Carabao Cup
After the completion of Burnley’s takeover by ALK Capital, Sean Dyche will be hoping to rejuvenate his squad in the January transfer window, having been left desperately short in the summer. The Clarets still managed to mount a notable fightback over the festive period, though, with wins against Arsenal, Wolves and Sheffield United lifting Burnley out of the relegation zone. Their most recent outing against MK Dons in the FA Cup was not quite so uplifting, however, Burnley did survive a penalty shootout scare to maintain their momentum and reach the fourth round. Follow all the action live below:
HALF-TIME: BURNLEY 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED
It’s level at the break. Burnley will be the happier of the teams, having restricted their in-form visitors to relatively few chances and caused problems with their physicality in the final third. Both sides could have been reduced to ten men in one of the strangest VAR incidents of the season, while Maguire had a goal slightly contentiously ruled out. All to play for after the break.

Fernandes goes into the book for complaining a little too forcefully about the award of a throw-in.

Shaw surges forward, going down just outside the area. The referee plays the advantage, allowing Rashford to shoot, but his effort is blocked and drops to Pope.

BURNLEY 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED (45’)
Good save! United work the ball patiently on the edge of the Burnley box, until Martial opts to speed things up. He gets the ball out of his feet and curls a shot towards the top left corner. Pope gets across quickly to tip it away.

Wood thinks he’s clean through on goal as Maguire goes to ground and loses possession in the process. The United man was tripped by Barnes, though, and a free kick is given, just before De Gea saves Wood’s low shot.

BURNLEY 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED (41’)
Burnley win a free kick, which is sent into the box by Brady. Maguire heads clear, and when the ball comes back in there are some feint appeals for a handball from Wan-Bissaka. Kevin Friend isn’t interested.

BURNLEY 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED (38’)
Fernandes lifts a diagonal ball up to Pogba, whose header picks out Cavani. He tries an acrobatic shot, which smacks into the face of Mee. It’s a brave block from the Burnley defender.

Maguire has the ball in the net, but it’s not going to count! After a United corner is half-cleared, Shaw lifts a cross to the back post and Maguire attacks it, powering a header past Pope from a tight angle. But he’s penalised for a slight push on Pieters.

Brady lifts the free kick into the box but it’s just too high for Wood and rolls behind for a goal kick.
