Wayne Rooney and Oumar Niasse will be both be looking to add to their tallies of 2 goals this season.
Burnley
Sean Dyche’s men have shown incredible resilience this term on the road and have only conceded 4 goals in 3 matches against Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham. The Clarets currently sit in 9th place in the table – with their only defeat coming at the hand of West Brom at Turf Moor in August. Chris Wood has hit the ground running since his big money arrival from Leeds and he will be eager to improve on his record of 2 league goals for his new club.
