Match thread - Toon v Burnley

[Toondes]

Burnley (h)

There's a quick turnaround for United following Saturday's home meeting with Huddersfield Town, when Burnley visit SJP on Tuesday.

It's an 8pm kickoff live on BT Sport, altered from the original 7.45pm start on the Wednesday.

Tickets remain on public sale, with discount offers for places in Level Seven.

Following on from a 2-1 victory at Turf Moor in November, the Magpies are looking to complete what would be their first league double over Burnley since the 1954/55 season.

NUFC: No new injury problems for Rafa Benitez following Saturday's victory over Huddersfield. Jonjo Shelvey and Ciaran Clark aren't expected to feature.

BFC: To follow

The Clarets defeated Spurs 2-1 at Turf Moor on Saturday to make it eight games unbeaten in the PL (five wins and three draws) since a 1-5 home loss to Everton on Boxing Day.

Peter Crouch has played just once for Burnley since arriving in the January transfer window, a 14 minute substitute appearance.

The 38 year-old scored his first goal against us way back in 2001 for Aston Villa and has also netted for Southampton, Liverpool and Stoke City in the PL when facing Newcastle (failing to do so when coming up against us for Portsmouth and Spurs).

[lassassinblanc]

1-1 draw me thinks

[bodacious benny]

Yeah I'll go 1-1.

[UlversToon]

Quietly confident after Saturday and other recent performances so going for a narrow 1-0 win for The Toon.

[Toondes]

3-1 win

[The Deluded Pablo Diego Jose Francisco]

0-2 Burnley

[overseasTOON]

5-1

Rafa will have worked on not hitting the woodwork.

[originallad]

I'm quietly confident and will be watching it so 2 v 1 loss or 2 v 2 draw.

[originallad]

Burnley fans expecting a tough match. A draw or someone will nick it. I agree.

[krully]

2-0 toon because I'm painfully positive

[Remember Colo]

If I had to risk money I'd predict a 1-1 draw, but I want and hope for a 2-1 win.

They seem like a reasonable bunch.

Makes a refreshing change.

[PTAO?]

Joselu to start.

[ALF]

It'll be a tough game, hopefully we can nick a win.

[lassassinblanc]

Joselu to start.

Nope it's worse Manquillo

[ALF]

Manquillo for Yedlin is the only change, strange move.

[UlversToon]

Joselu to start.

Nope it's worse Manquillo

I was hoping that was a joke!

[Diego21]

Diame, Darlow and Ki comeback (Bench).

No Barreca

[PTAO?]

Joselu to start.

Nope it's worse Manquillo

I suppose the players aren't that tired from Saturday with the break beforehand.
