Comments and predictions for Man City vs Burnley: 3 goals for the guests

Latest Man City vs Burnley squad information

Man City will be without five players through injury: Abdukodir Khusanov (ankle), Omar Marmoush (knee), Rayan Cherki (thigh), Rayan Ait-Nouri (unknown), and Mateo Kovacic (Achilles tendon).

Erling Haaland is a doubt after being taken off with a minor back injury against Arsenal and missing the game against Huddersfield, but Guardiola is hopeful the Norwegian – who has scored six of City’s nine Premier League goals this season (67%) – will be fit to play.

After rotating nine positions in midweek, Guardiola will recall key players like Gianluigi Donnarumma, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, Jeremy Doku and captain Bernardo Silva. The question remains whether Rico Lewis or Matheus Nunes will be selected at right-back to replace Khusanov.

For Burnley, Jordan Beyer (thigh), Connor Roberts (knee) and Zeki Amdouni (knee) are still not back. Jacob Bruun Larsen is also uncertain to play due to a minor injury and will be assessed closer to match time.

Lesley Ugochukwu completed his suspension against Nottingham Forest and returned against Cardiff, competing for a starting spot in midfield alongside new signing Florentino Luis and captain Josh Cullen.

Josh Laurent could be moved back to centre-back in a back five, alongside Hjalmar Ekdal and Maxime Esteve, while 35-year-old Kyle Walker is likely to start at right-back against his former club Manchester City, where he won 18 trophies and made over 300 appearances in eight years.

Latest Man City vs Burnley football review

After dropping two points in the last minute of a Premier League draw with Arsenal last weekend, Manchester City quickly returned to winning ways on Wednesday night when they beat Huddersfield Town (League One) 2-0, thereby booking a ticket to the fourth round of the League Cup for the 12th time in the last 13 seasons.

Ten years after Emile Heskey last featured in the League Cup, City fans got to see his two sons – Reigan and Jaden – make their senior debuts. A total of eight academy graduates were given their chance by Pep Guardiola, with Phil Foden and Savinho scoring in each half in South Yorkshire.

City travel to Swansea City in the fourth round, with a packed schedule ahead: they have three games in eight days – two Premier League games against Burnley and Brentford, with a Champions League game against Monaco in between – before the next international break.

With just seven points from five games – their worst run of form since the 2006-07 season (four points) – City are in desperate need of a boost in the Premier League. They have every reason to believe in a win this weekend when they host Burnley, having won 22 of their last 24 games against newly promoted teams in the Premier League (drawn two) since a 2-1 defeat to Leeds in April 2021.

In fact, Man City have won all 13 of their last meetings with Burnley in all competitions by an aggregate score of 46-2. In club history, they have only had longer winning streaks against Fulham (18), Watford (16), Bournemouth (15) and West Brom (14).

While Man City eased past their lower-league opponents, Burnley were disappointed when they lost 2-1 at home to Cardiff City – a promotion candidate from League One – in the League Cup on Wednesday. It was the second year in a row that Burnley have been eliminated before the fourth round.

Although Zian Flemming scored in the second half, it was not enough to salvage the game, with manager Scott Parker admitting he was “disappointed” that his much-changed side “did not reach the expected standards” at Turf Moor.

Burnley are now winless in four games in all competitions, including their last three in the Premier League. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Nottingham Forest last weekend and are currently 16th in the table with just four points – just one point above the relegation zone.

This weekend they face a huge test when they visit the Etihad – where Burnley have failed to win in their last 19 league games (D6 L13), since a 5-2 win in March 1963. They have also lost their last seven Premier League visits to Man City, conceding 25 goals.

Despite keeping a record 30 clean sheets in the Championship last season, Burnley are currently the Premier League side under the most pressure: they have faced the most shots (95), had the most shots on target (25) and have the highest expected goals conceded (xGA) (10.5). However, Burnley can take some comfort from the fact that Man City have averaged just 11 shots per game in the Premier League this season – their lowest since 2000-01.
