Manchester City, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-2 away win over Newcastle United in their last league game, Manchester City will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with 73% of the possession and clocked up 27 attempts on goal with 11 on target. By comparison, Newcastle United managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Their boss Pep Guardiola has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 7 goals conceded across those matches. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 18 of their 20 games this season.
They have not lost at home for an impressive 20 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Erling Haaland will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at The Etihad Stadium having scored 6 goals in Manchester City's last 6 home games in the league.
Burnley, Recent FormIt's fair to say Burnley will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Luton Town, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Luton Town had 14 shots on goal with 5 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 19 of their 21 games overall.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. Their league form has not been good this season, with 15 defeats in 21 matches.
On an individual basis, Benson Manuel has scored in each of Burnley's last 3 league games away from home.
A defeat for Burnley in their last match against Manchester City was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 3 goals.
Man City will be looking to extend their current run of 6 clean sheets against The Clarets. Man City will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against The Clarets, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 13 meetings between the two. In their last 3 away league games against The Citizens, Burnley have conceded a total of 12 goals and that's an average of 4 per game.
Undefeated in their last 13 league encounters against Burnley, Man City have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning the last 9 times in a row.
Man City manager Pep Guardiola has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Manuel Akanji (Knock), Jérémy Doku (Thigh), Erling Haaland (Foot) and John Stones (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Vincent Kompany has a number of injury concerns in his Burnley squad to contend with: Jordan Beyer (Physical discomfort), Luca Koleosho (Knee) and Charlie Taylor (Shoulder)
