Man City v Burnley Team News

Manchester City come into this game on the back of European success over Napoli on Tuesday night (2-1). Burnley will be no pushovers as they remain unbeaten away from home this season (W2, D2), a stark contrast to the Burnley of last season.

City can possibly match yet another scoring record in this fixture, having scored 5+ goals in 6 league matches this calendar year, 1 more game would match Chelsea’s record of 7 in 2010.

Underestimate Burnley at your own risk, as their impressive away form has not come against just your average PL teams, they have picked up 5 points away from home to 3 of last season’s top 4 already this year (Draw at Liverpool, Draw at Spurs, Win at Chelsea).

City have never kept a clean sheet vs Burnley in a top flight game, there have been 6 such occasions.

Burnley keeper Nick Pope has the best save percentage in the entire league, conceding just 2 goals in 414 minutes of football this season.

This is Burnleys best-ever start to a PL campaign with 13 points from 8 games. Only goal difference separates them from the European spots at this stage.
