Burnley keeper Pope: Man Utd clash now ideal

Nick Pope says facing Manchester United is the perfect game for Burnley after Thursday's loss to Everton.

Pope was unable to stop Dominic Calvert-Lewin's fantastic header as the Toffees ran out 1-0 winners.

They next face United at Turf Moor on Saturday.

Pope said: "It's something you have to do in the Premier League. You can't win every week.

"That's the nature of the beast. We've got to go again and take that challenge on.

"Big games are what you want and it's a big game for us and we will go and take it on.

"Turf Moor under the lights is always a great occasion and we want to get back on track."
