12:45BST/13:45CET - Burnley V's Manchester United [PREMIER LEAGUE]

Aside from Sam Vokes, Dyche should have a fully fit squad available to him.

Midfielder Angel Di Maria is set to make his debut for Manchester United following his £59.7m British transfer record signing from Real Madrid.

Fellow new recruit Marcos Rojo is still awaiting clearance on a work permit so may have to wait until after the international break to make his bow.

Simultaneously, both Manchester United and Burnley went out of the League Cup this week; but whilst one result hardly merited more than a paragraph in the morning papers, the other made headlines worldwide.

MK Dons 4-0 Manchester United . It still seems barely credible.

Burnley lost at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night, making it three defeats in three games so far. After games against Chelsea, Swansea and Wednesday, there have been a few gleeful suggestions that playing against United represents Burnley's best bet yet of breaking that duck.

Of course, Argentines Angel Di Maria and Marcos Rojo have arrived at Old Trafford, taking the club's summer spending beyond £130m. Di Maria's British record fee is 40 times greater than the cost of Burnley's most expensive current player and could probably buy Sean Dyche's entire squad.

But five of United's current group of players have good reason to remember the last time they visited Turf Moor, as will anyone who was there on 19 August 2009, a nice summer's evening in Lancashire and Burnley's first home game of their first season in the top flight for over 30 years.

Manchester United were the reigning champions, Burnley the supposed whipping boys. Robbie Blake had other ideas with an early, stunning right-footed volley. Before half-time, Brian Jensen saved a penalty from Michael Carrick and Burnley, deservedly, prevailed.

I remember having rung manager Owen Coyle a few hours before the game and being struck by his confidence. Afterwards he was keeping calm amidst the celebrations of one of the Premier League's greatest upsets.

You may recall what happened as the season played out. United rallied after their shock defeat but lost the title by a single point to Chelsea, whilst an in-demand Coyle resigned from Burnley less than five months later to take up the manager's job at Bolton. That move didn't go well for anyone; Burnley were relegated, Bolton followed two years later and Coyle is currently out of work.


MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

After losing to Burnley at Turf Moor in the 2009-10 season, Manchester United won the return fixture 3-0 at Old Trafford - Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney and Mame Biram Diouf scored the goals.
The Clarets' last league win over United prior to August 2009 was in September 1968.
Manchester United's last top-flight away win at Burnley came in April 1976.
This is the 121st meeting between the sides. Manchester United have won 57 times, Burnley 44 and there have been 19 draws.

Burnley

The Clarets have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 29 Premier League games since a 2-0 win at home against Hull City on 31 October 2009.
They have won just three of those 29 matches.
Burnley have kept only three clean sheets in 40 Premier League games, but one of them came at home to Manchester United.
The Clarets are one of two teams (along with Barnsley) never to have been involved in a goalless draw in the Premier League.

Manchester United

One point from two games is Manchester United's worst start to a league campaign since the inaugural Premier League season of 1992-93, when they lost both of their opening matches but still won the title.
The start made by Louis van Gaal in the league is the same as Alex Ferguson's opening two matches as United manager.
They have kept only two clean sheets in their last 10 Premier League games, and they have now failed to keep a clean sheet for five consecutive league matches away from home.
United's 4-0 defeat by MK Dons was the first time they have conceded four goals in a League Cup match against lower-league opposition.
After two matches this season, the Red Devils have the lowest cross completion rate in the top flight so far (5% - excluding corners).
New signing Angel Di Maria has assisted 11 goals in his last 11 league appearances and finished last season with 17 La Liga assists - four more than any other player. Only Messi (57) has provided more assists than Di Maria (49) in La Liga since the start of the 2010-11 season and since August 2011 only Messi & Ozil (39 each) have more assists than Di Maria (38) in the top five European leagues.
