I reckon Dyche was saving some of the players for the Leeds game with the MU game used as a free hit so to speak.
Expect a different proposition from Burnley Sunday.

I highly doubt Burnley have such luxury with their squad.

Leeds will win easily. 2 weeks rest versus 2 days.

Not Leeds' fault but shows what a farce playing with covid so rife is.

Not so sure Marty.
Players who might have played against MU and who were 99% fit may well have been given the extra 2 days to get to the 100% in time for Leeds.
There`s more chance them getting a result against Leeds than MU imo.
Can`t see the Burnley defenders been as bad Sunday once Dyche has laid into them.

It does seem a strange one as I was expecting both Rodrigo and Stuijk back for the Villa game going on what was said previously.
Play Roberts up front Sunday as their defence is pretty physical.
Barkley or Dele Ali on loan would help in January.
I also think Greenwood is a better option than Klich in midfield but perhaps lacks the physicality.

Robert’s best game this season was when he was playing in his best position which was up front.

Jan 1st and lets be honest title race is over. Nobody are catching City.

The Premier League is getting like Scottish football.

They had a huge slice of luck today City. But yes it looks like too much to catch them

Arsenal were unlucky and should have had a penalty of their own.
Same with Spurs who should have had a penalty for a foul on Kane first half.
I was under the impression the 4th official or VAR takes a look at those contentious decisions and lets the ref know should he miss it.

Easy win today. 3-0 i predict. Burnley will be knackered from playing Thurs night.

Sky Sports reporting that a Leeds fan has thrown a bottle of Coke at a Burnley player and hit him in the face.

Every week theres an incident with that fanbase. Seriously guys how can you support this club? Disgusting, dangerous and disgraceful.

Deflect away......again

Saw when it happened. I hope the people who were near the person who threw it give their name.

The club is trying to do everything to grow, it's just a shame there's always that element im the background.

Much better all round performance today especially in defence.
Klich best game of the season for me and Forshaw is really stepping up in the absence of Phillips.
Poor decision by the ref to not only give them the free kick but to book Llorente as well.
Bad miss by Roberts and even bigger miss by Raphina should have made it comfortable.
I know Harrison scored but woeful again (sorry Jack Burton) unless I`m missing something.
Great point blank save by Messlier off Wood btw.
