📊 Form Guide

Burnley: DDLWWW 📈

Burnley will be looking for a repeat result of the 3-0 Championship victory against Cardiff City.

In that game, Burnley managed 70% possession and 18 shots on goal with 7 on target. For Burnley, the goalscorers were Josh Brownhill (27'), Ashley Barnes (31') and Scott Twine (57'). On the other side, Cardiff City had 10 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target.

Vincent Kompany's Burnley have seen rewards for their attempts on goal 9 times over their prior half-dozen outings. The tally of goals that have been scored against them in that time stands at 5.

Manchester City: WDLWWD

In their previous fixture, Manchester City drew 1-1 in the FA Community Shield tie with Arsenal.

In that game, Manchester City had 55% possession and 8 shots at goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Manchester City was Cole Palmer (77'). For their opponents, Arsenal had 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Leandro Trossard (101') was the scorer for Arsenal. The match went to penalties and was won 1-4 by Arsenal.

A succession of steadfast performances by the Manchester City defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their past 6 fixtures overall. Over that same time, their own forwards have managed to score 6. That sort of trend might not be sustained here, though.

👥 Head to head

Checking on their past head to head meetings stretching back to 30/09/2020 reveals that these fixtures have not been fruitful for Burnley. They have not managed to get themselves any wins whatsoever while Manchester City have simply been better than them, winning in 100% of those matches.

A total of 20 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 0 from The Clarets and 20 netted by The Citizens. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.33.

📋 Team News: Burnley

In our view, The Clarets should employ a 4-2-3-1 system this time featuring Arijanet Muric, Connor Roberts, Dara O'Shea, Jordan Beyer, Ameen Al Dakhil, Josh Brownhill, Jack Cork, Luca Koleosho, Zeki Amdouni, Anass Zaroury and Lyle Foster.

📋 Team News: Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has some current player fitness concerns. Josko Gvardiol (Thigh Problems), Kevin De Bruyne (Muscle partial avulsion) and Zack Steffen (Knee Surgery) are those who can’t be considered.

It’s our belief that The Citizens seem likely to make use of a 3-2-4-1 system, starting the game with Ederson Moraes, Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji, John Stones, Rodri, Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez, Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland.

💡 Prediction

Our feeling is that Burnley should be able to put one past this Manchester City outfit, although one goal might not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’ve gone for both teams to score in a 1-2 advantage for Manchester City at the end of this one. There looks to be little in this one.
