Marv is the only player who can sit in front of the back four a do a defensive job, Conor there would be a joke, especially given Burnley are one of those rough and tumble teams. I'd personally put Marv in for Luiz.

Missed the point, Conor wouldn’t be in there for a defensive job. We don’t need to be defensive against Burnley at home.
We could go with a back 3 I suppose and bring in Hause, but yes Marv is really the only like for like. A lot depends on Barkley being fit or not.
We need to protect our back four and we always do, no reason to change that as far as I'm concerned. Burnley can be pretty tough and have some half decent attacking players when they show up. No protection in midfield would be a mistake.
Without the reliability of Luiz I think there might be an option for both Nakamba and Hourihane, with Ramsey unfortunately back on the bench. Would be unfair to throw Ramsey into an unsettled midfield as neither option does the same job as Luiz, he’s so important to us now. Nakamba is definitely the more defensive option he but is well out of favour so far, so I wouldn’t really trust him and he doesn’t offer the same passing ability as Luiz (which at least Hourihane is closer to)Marv is the only player who can sit in front of the back four a do a defensive job, Conor there would be a joke, especially given Burnley are one of those rough and tumble teams.

Underestimate any PL opposition at your peril. They are a poor side for PL standards but they certainly know how to battle it out on the pitch and are capable of picking up points as they’ve shown for 4 or 5 years nowMissed the point, Conor wouldn’t be in there for a defensive job.
