Stones and Fernandinho help City beat Manchester United in Carabao Cup
After the completion of Burnley’s takeover by ALK Capital, Sean Dyche will be hoping to rejuvenate his squad in the January transfer window, having been left desperately short in the summer. The Clarets still managed to mount a notable fightback over the festive period, though, with wins against Arsenal, Wolves and Sheffield United lifting Burnley out of the relegation zone. Their most recent outing against MK Dons in the FA Cup was not quite so uplifting, however, Burnley did survive a penalty shootout scare to maintain their momentum and reach the fourth round. Follow all the action live below:
