THE LOWDOWN
BURNLEY
- A defining week in Burnley’s season begins with them facing Man City, four days before the visit of relegation rivals Everton to Turf Moor with the Clarets having accrued just a point from the last 12 available to them.
- With injury to Ben Mee and suspension ruling out Nathan Collins, Kevin Long is likely to be afforded a rare start here alongside James Tarkowski.
MAN CITY
- Table toppers Man City could well kick off away at Burnley having been knocked off of top spot in the Premier League with second-placed Liverpool kicking off over two hours earlier against Watford.
- Defender Ruben Dias is edging closer to a return but is not deemed to be ready yet while Cole Palmer is the only other player unavailable to manager Pep Guardiola.

THE PREDICTION
When these two sides clash, normally it leads to only one outcome which is a comprehensive Man City victory. In fact, the last nine times Burnley and Man City have locked horns, Pep Guardiola’s side have triumphed by at least two clear goals on all but one occasion. Burnley’s most recent three Premier League fixtures have ended with that very same outcome and with Man City desperate to keep themselves at the summit of the Premier League table, they are expected to once again comfortably dispatch of the Clarets with the players at their disposal.
