There are six games taking place in the English Premier League this midweek, with big games at the top and bottom of the table sure to affect how some of the biggest teams in the league look towards the halfway point of the season.

Burnley vs. Manchester United (Tuesday, 8.15pm GMT kick-off)

After looking like a game that would be deader rubber than what was left on tyres at the end of Fast & Furious 7 when it was originally scheduled, this showdown at Turf Moor now looks like it could be pivotal.

It’s not that Manchester United haven’t been top of the Premier League table since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in May 2013, but we can’t recall the last time they were top of the pile after over a dozen game with a genuine chance at lasting the distance and being part of a genuine title race. Jose Mourinho finishing 18 points behind City in second place doesn’t count.
