United v Burnley cup details confirmed

United secured progress to this stage with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Aston Villa at the Theatre of Dreams on Thursday night.

The visitors twice took the lead, through Ollie Watkins and a Diogo Dalot own goal, but the Reds roared back to come out on top, with Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay all on the scoresheet.

The Championship-leading Clarets, who are managed by Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany, have knocked out Shrewsbury Town and Crawley Town so far and will be hoping for a top-flight scalp, given their recent good run of form and the fact they resume their league season with a trip to QPR on Sunday 11 December.
