Manchester United will take on Burnley in the EFL Cup round-of-16 match, as they mark their return to competitive football. While United have not played a competitive game since the unusual World Cup break, Burnley have already played a couple of matches this month. That will undoubtedly give them an edge in terms of match fitness. However, the quality of United players and the daunting task of playing at Old Trafford can be difficult for any team.

Having said that, Burnley do not seem to be worried about the difficult task at hand. They have been an absolute joy to watch in the Championship this season under Vincent Kompany. They are deservedly placed at the top of the table with 47 points from 23 games. On the other hand, Manchester United were on a decent run before the World Cup break. It helped them move to fifth in the Premier League standings with 26 points from 14 matches.
