Manchester United
Man United will again be without the services of Axel Tuanzebe through injury, while Diogo Dalot is a doubt with the hamstring problem that he picked up while representing Portugal at the World Cup.
Jadon Sancho is also a major doubt, having recently been on an individual fitness programme, with the Englishman not travelling to Spain for the team's winter training camp, which included matches against Cadiz and Real Betis.
Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are definitely out of this match due to their involvement in the World Cup final, but there are expected to be players who featured in the competition that start on Wednesday.
One of those could be club captain Harry Maguire, who might be rushed back due to Ten Hag's lack of options in that area of the field, while Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen could also feature.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka might get the nod at right-back, while Anthony Elanga, Donny van de Beek, Garnacho and Anthony Martial could also be in the XI.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Malacia; McTominay, Eriksen; Elanga, Van de Beek, Garnacho; Martial
Burnley
As for Burnley, Scott Twine picked up an injury while appearing as a late substitute against Middlesbrough, so the midfielder will not be available for selection at Old Trafford.
Connor Roberts was sent off against Boro, meanwhile, which will rule him out of this game through suspension.
Kompany will make changes from the side that started in the league at the weekend, with Ashley Barnes, Charlie Taylor, Bailey Peacock-Farrell among those set to come into the XI.
Burnley possible starting lineup:
Peacock-Farrell; Taylor, Harwood-Bellis, Beyer, Maatsen; Cullen, Bastien; Manuel, Brownhill, Churlinov; Barnes
