This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.

Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.

Thanks for joining us for live coverage of Manchester United's 1-0 Premier League victory over Burnley at Turf Moor. Goodbye!

Burnley vs Manchester United

22:04

United's third win of the Premier League season takes them on to nine points and moves them up to eighth. Ten Hag's men will open their defence of the EFL Cup next, hosting Palace at Old Trafford on Tuesday as they look to repeat their cup heroics of last season. For Burnley, their wait for a first win since returning to the top-flight continues and Kompany will be frustrated by how little troubled United in the second half. They are also in EFL Cup action on Tuesday, travelling to take on League Two side Salford City.

22:00

The full-time whistle blows, and with it comes a huge three points for United as they claim a first win in four thanks to a 1-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor. A moment of real class provided the 45th-minute winner, as Evans picked out Fernandes with a delightful lofted throughball before the Red Devils captain fired a brilliant volley into the far corner. The Clarets huffed and puffed after the break but never really troubled United in truth, as Ten Hag's makeshift backline stood up to the task to secure a much-needed win.

FULL-TIME: BURNLEY 0-1 MANCHESTER UNITED

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:57

Burnley take the free-kick short to Benson, who cuts onto his left foot and shoots. It never looks like troubling Onana, though, and the United goalkeeper makes the comfortable save. The Red Devils are surely just seconds away now.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:55

Amrabat takes out Benson, and Burnley will have one final chance to get the ball in the box. Can they find an equaliser?

21:54

Beyer receives a late booking for hauling down Hannibal.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:54

United have the ball up the right end of the pitch, with the Clarets struggling to get back possession.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:51

There will be four minutes of additional time for Burnley to find a leveller and United to hold on.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:50

Benson looks to make an impact just moments after coming off the bench, but his shot from range flies high and wide of Onana's goal when he had passing options available.

Substitution Jonathan Grant Evans Sofyan Amrabat

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:48

Kompany's final roll of the dice is bringing on Benson for Brownhill.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:46

Hannibal's brilliant throughball finds Rashford, who then dribbles all the way into the Burnley box. However, he takes one touch too many and the Clarets get enough bodies back to block his eventual shot behind for a corner.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:45

Rodriguez springs the offside trap and looks to smash towards goal from a difficult angle, but Varane is well-placed to block behind for a corner. It is all Burnley at the moment.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:44

Berge rises highest to meet a corner from the left, but the ball seems to come off his shoulder and ends up flying over the crossbar. The hosts are getting closer, though.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:42

United look like they will have a chance to kill the game off as they come forward with plenty of bodies. However, Hojlund underhits his pass to Rashford, and the danger is gone.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:40

Ten Hag puts Varane on for Reguilon as he looks to shore up the defence.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:40

Bruun Larsen whips a very threatening delivery across the face of goal, but there is no Burnley attacker there to tap home and Dalot is able to clear for a corner.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:38

Evans required a bit of treatment after that Burnley half-chance, though he is up and okay to continue.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:38

There is chaos in the United box as Bruun Larsen and then Rodriguez look to latch onto Al Dakhil's long ball. The visitors are eventually able to scramble away.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:35

Kompany also brings on Bruun Larsen for the lively Koleosho.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:35

Berge enters the fray for Ramsey.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:35

Kompany is making a trio of changes as he tries to find an attacking spark. The first sees Rodriguez come on for Andouni.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:34

There are 20 minutes left at Turf Moor. Can the hosts find a way back into this contest?

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:31

Kompany's men have had 60.6 per cent of the second-half possession but are yet to record a shot since the break. United are looking pretty comfortable at the moment, but their lead is slender and Ten Hag will be keen for his side to find a second goal.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:29

Lindelof is well-placed to smash Roberts' cross behind for a corner before any Burnley forward can get a shot away at goal.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:26

Fernandes has now either scored or assisted against 22 of the 24 sides he has faced in the Premier League, with Sheffield United (3 games) and Norwich (2 games) being the only exceptions.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:25

McTominay tries his luck with an ambitious effort from range, but his shot lacks the direction or power to trouble Trafford and the Burnley goalkeeper makes an easy save.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:24

United are unbeaten in their last 136 Premier League matches when leading at half-time (W117, D19) dating back to September 21, 2014 against Leicester (L3-5).

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:21

Al Dakhil makes a crucial intervention to poke the ball behind for a corner and prevent the lurking Hojlund tapping home from Rashford's knockdown.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:18

Burnley have struggled to get going since the break, and Kompany will want his team to step it up a gear.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:16

Yellow Card Sergio Reguilón Rodríguez

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:15

Evans has provided his first Premier League assist since November 2021 (for Leicester City v Watford). His previous Premier League assist for United, meanwhile, came back in February 2013 v Fulham.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:14

United are very close to doubling their lead as Dalot fizzes a brilliant ball across the face of the goal, with a sliding Hojlund inches away from diverting the ball goalwards and surely scoring.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:12

United have never lost a Premier League away game when Fernandes has found the back of the net (P17 W11 D6 before this game).

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:08

Fernandes has scored his first away Premier League goal since January (v Crystal Palace) having gone 11 such matches without finding the back of the net before today. Indeed, each of his previous five league goals had come at Old Trafford.

Burnley vs Manchester United

21:07

The visitors get us back under way for the second period.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:55

Burnley find themselves behind despite having 57.7 per cent of the possession and forcing a couple of decent saves from Onana, as well as hitting the post. Kompany will be encouraged despite the scoreline, and he will have his Clarets firing in the second half as they try to make a comeback.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:54

A lively first half comes to an end with a sublime moment of quality from Evans and then Fernandes the difference at the interval with United holding a 1-0 lead. After Amdouni hit the post at one end, Evans thought he had put his side ahead 25 minutes in when he nodded home from Reguilon's corner, but a VAR review found Hojlund to be in an offside position and obstructing the goalkeeper. But the centre-back picked himself up to provide a superb assist just before half-time, lofting a perfect pass for Fernandes, who showed his world-class technique by firing a sublime volley into the far corner to give the Red Devils a slender advantage at the break.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:51

HALF-TIME: BURNLEY 0-1 MANCHESTER UNITED

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:51

Hojlund fails to hit the target after he has the ball squared to him by Fernandes, though he has his blushes spared as a delayed flag goes up for offside.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:49

Amid the celebrations for Fernandes' goal, the fourth official put up his board and indicated there will be three minutes of additional time.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:46

Assist Jonathan Grant Evans

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:46

Roberts avoids a booking for cynically pulling back Rashford as the winger charged down the touchline.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:44

Onana makes a decent stop to deny Ramsey's shot from just outside the box. Burnley are finishing the half strongly.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:43

Casemiro makes a vital tackle to dispossess Koleosho, who was on a mazy run and looked like he could not be stopped. He is a real talent for Burnley.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:41

United win the ball high up the pitch again, but Fernandes' pass back to Hannibal is poor and Burnley's mistake goes unpunished.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:39

Rashford has struggled to get into the game, with Roberts doing a pretty good job of keeping him quiet to this point.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:37

Just two of Burnley's 11 Premier League goals against United have come at Turf Moor (18 per cent). Of all teams to score at least 10 times against an opponent in the competition, this is the lowest percentage to be scored in home games.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:36

Having lost their first ever Premier League visit to Turf Moor 1-0 in August 2009, United are unbeaten in their last seven away against Burnley, conceding just one further goal in this run.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:35

Burnley win a couple of corners in quick succession, though the visitors are able to deal with both.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:33

Hojlund is looking really lively. He is proving a constant handful for the Burnley defence, smashing into the side netting a moment ago.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:30

Burnley have won just one of their last 15 Premier League games against United (drawn five, lost nine), a 2-0 away win in January 2020.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:29

NO GOAL!!! Evans has his goal chalked off, and United can have little complaints with Hojlund clearly obstructing the goalkeeper and visibly offside, much to the hosts' relief.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:28

GOAL!!! EVANS PUTS UNITED AHEAD!!! What a story this is as Evans, making his first start for the Red Devils since 2015, scores on his second full debut for the club. Reguilon's delivery is brilliant, and the centre-back rises highest to nod into the back of the net. There will be a VAR check, though, to judge whether Hojlund was obstructing the goalkeeper when stood in an offside position...

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:26

Goal Jonathan Grant Evans

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:25

Koleosho has gone over to the right-hand side since Tresor's introduction. He already forced Dalot into an early yellow card. Can he trouble Reguilon as well?

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:21

Only Bournemouth (eight), Everton and Luton Town (five each) have had their woodwork hit on more occasions in the Premier League this season than United (four).

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:21

Substitution Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson Mike Trésor Ndayishimiye

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:20

OFF THE POST!!! Burnley are inches away from taking the lead as Amdouni races onto Ramsey's brilliant throughball. The Switzerland international fires at goal, and though it beats Onana, it does not beat the post as it comes back off the woodwork before United scramble away. That is a huge let-off for the visitors!

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:17

The hosts win a free-kick in a decent crossing position, but Brownhill's delivery is poor and the visitors clear easily.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:15

The ball bounces nicely for Brownhill to shoot from range, but his effort is wild and flies high and wide of the target.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:14

Dalot receives the first booking of the contest for wiping out Koleosho as the teenager skipped past him.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:14

Hannibal manages to find Hojlund with a nice backheel, but the striker cannot quite maneuver the space for a shot and the hosts scramble clear.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:12

GREAT STOP! Onana endured a difficult outing against Bayern, but he shakes off any lingering doubts here with a sublime save down to his right to deny Amdouni's header. The forward got on the end of Roberts' cross before nodding towards the bottom corner, and the ball looked to be flying in until Onana tipped it wide for a corner.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:09

BIG SAVE! Trafford makes a vital stop to deny Fernandes. Burnley are caught in possession again, and Rashford slides a nice ball through to Fernandes. The Portugal international blasts at goal, but Trafford is equal to it as he beats the powerful effort away from danger.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:06

United have 10 different nationalities in their starting XI against Burnley, their most in a Premier League match since December 2013 against Newcastle United (also 10).

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:05

The hosts are dominating the ball in these early exchanges, though most of their possession has been in their own territory.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:05

United catch the Clarets in possession in a dangerous area, but Al Dakhil does well to force Rashford wide and ensure the England international can only smash into the side netting from a difficult angle.

Burnley vs Manchester United

20:01

The hosts kick us off and we are underway!

Burnley vs Manchester United

19:57

The two teams make their way onto the field at Turf Moor and kick-off is just moments away.

Burnley vs Manchester United

19:57

There are three alterations to Erik ten Hag's starting XI. Lisandro Martinez is absent, adding to United's injury woes and joining the likes of Mason Mount and Luke Shaw on the sidelines. He is replaced in the back four by Evans, making his first Red Devils start since 2015, while elsewhere McTominay and Hannibal come in for Eriksen and Pellistri.

Burnley vs Manchester United

19:53

Vincent Kompany makes just the one change, an enforced one as Foster misses out through suspension having been sent off for elbowing Forest midfielder Ryan Yates just minutes after his potential winner was disallowed. Ramsey takes his place in the team and will play just behind Amdouni, who will fill in for Foster up top.

Burnley vs Manchester United

19:49

SUBS: Facundo Pellistri, Alejandro Garnacho, Christian Eriksen, Raphael Varane, Daniel Gore, Anthony Martial, Sofyan Amrabat, Donny van de Beek, Altay Bayindir.

Burnley vs Manchester United

19:37

It has been a terrible start to the season for the visitors, losing four of their six matches in all competitions, with the latest of those defeats coming midweek away at Bayern Munich in the Champions League. They conceded four goals in that game, their third outing in a row in which they have allowed three or more in a match, and they will need to tighten up their defence quickly if they want to arrest this poor start.

Burnley vs Manchester United

19:33

The hosts earned their maiden point of the season away at Nottingham Forest on Monday, but they could have been travelling back to Lancashire with all three had Lyle Foster's potential late winner not been ruled out for a contentious handball. Back on home soil, the Clarets will be looking for their first victory of the campaign having taken maximum points in 16 of their 23 games at Turf Moor on their way to winning the Championship last term.
