Manchester City vs Burnley Prediction

Anything other than a Manchester City victory seems highly unlikely. Burnley’s injuries make the uphill task even harder with as many as three key players unavailable.

Man City should win comfortably as they did in the reverse fixture.

 

Manchester City Form

Pep Guardiola’s side got back to winning ways after the enforced break with a 3-0 victory over Arsenal. That win makes it 14W-2D-1L with team outside the top eight at the time of writing. Manchester City have consistently scored well across these fixtures, hitting three or more goals on no fewer than ten occasions.

Their last meeting with Burnley saw them take all three points in a 4-1 win, thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus, Rodri, and Riyad Mahrez. Robbie Brady scored a late consolation for the Clarets but Manchester City’s win was never in doubt.

No side has outscored Manchester City in the Premier League. The current league holders have netted 71 times in 29 games, five more than Liverpool at the time of writing.

Eric Garcia is unlikely to feature after receiving lengthy treatment and eventually being forced off against Arsenal.

 

Burnley Form

Only Liverpool and Manchester City have taken more points from their last eight fixtures than Burnley. The Clarets were unbeaten in their last seven fixtures heading into lockdown, taking them clear of the relegation zone and into the top half.

Sean Dyche’s Burnley kept four clean sheets during this period, most notably beating Manchester United 2-0. This victory was only their second against any of the sides currently above them in the league. On the other hand, Burnley have only lost three times against sides below them in the league at the time fo writing.

Burnley have conceded three or more goals against top ten teams on six separate occasions this season, including their 4-1 home loss to City.

Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes, and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are all major doubts for Burnley.
