The weekend’s results have tightened things up at the bottom end of the Premier League with only one point separating six clubs.
Huddersfield Town’s win at Wolves on Sunday lifted the Terriers off the bottom of the table and above both Burnley and Newcastle United into 14th-place.
That has raised the stakes ahead of Monday night’s meeting at Turf Moor with United and the Clarets both looking to put daylight between themselves and the bottom three.
Rafa Benitez’s side eased their immediate concerns with back-to-back home wins before the international break, while the Clarets stopped the rot with a battling 0-0 draw at Leicester City.
