Wout Weghorst v Harry Maguire. If you are not entertained by the thought of these two going slabhead to slabhead for an aerial dual, do you even believe in Barclays? This is our football heritage, the bedrock of our culture. Huge men doing massive things. Big Sam throwing Chris Samba up top for the last five minutes. Chris Sutton, Gary Doherty and Dion Dublin seamlessly interchanging between centre back and striker. The camera panning to that bloke with the Newcastle tattoos on his belly. Welcome to the Premier League.

Of course, in case you wanted more from this MBM that just marvelling at James Tarkowski’s thighs, then you’ll probably be wanting some context to this match. Burnley are rock bottom of the table, but just three points adrift of 17th-placed Norwich. But things are not all doom and gloom, Maxwel Cornet is back from the Africa Cup of Nations and the Clarets have plenty of games in hand on their relegation rivals, owing to a few of their games being postponed due to Covid.

Manchester United have had a turbulent few weeks, what with the Mason Greenwood saga and an FA Cup exit at home to Middlesbrough, but remain very much in contention for Champions League
