Burnley v Manchester City: match preview

Burnley v Manchester City
Burnley v Manchester City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Sean Dyche says Manchester City are in a “different world” to Burnley, but will want a reaction from his side after they made West Brom look extraterrestrial on Monday. Their 4-0 defeat continued some poor away form but at Turf Moor things are rather different and, having beaten Liverpool and Everton there as well as losing unfairly to Arsenal, they should make a fight of this one. Pep Guardiola may be considering Wednesday’s night Champions League away trip was not to have not been the best preparation for a Saturday lunchtime game against opponents who will not stop running.
