EFL Cup 2022/23 Fourth Round – Manchester United vs Burnley, match preview, predicted lineups
Manchester United take on Burnley on Wednesday in EFL Cup 2022/23 fourth round as the season moves ahead. United come into this game as the favourites.
Kick-off : 8:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Old Trafford, Manchester
Manchester United did well to see off Aston Villa in the third round of the ongoing Carabao Cup as they breezed through them 4-2 at home. They now look to fend of the Burnley challenge to enter the quarter-finals.
The Red Devils defence looked fragile in the recent two friendlies where they suffered defeats against Cadiz and the Real Betis. They will aim to be rock solid now as we resume Premier League back after the conclusion of the FIFA World Cup.
Manager Erik ten Hag might go with a 4-2-3-1 system.
On the other hand, Burnley saw off the challenges of Crawley Town & Shrewsbury in the third and second respectively to make it this far. They will now look to challenge for a spot in the quarters.
The Clarets defending have been quiet good in the very recent past as they will hope to be resounding against united in a very important game. Attack wise they have been converting as well and will look to be spot on.
Manager Vincent Kompany will likely use a 4-2-3-1 on Wednesday.
