Manchester City can re-establish their three-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a win against Burnley tonight.
United smashed nine goals past Southampton on Tuesday to draw level with their rivals, but City, who have two games in hand going into the match, will be hopeful of extending their excellent recent run of form.
They have won their last eight league games, have not lost since November 21, and are chasing their 13th consecutive victory in all competitions. The last Premier League team to achieve that feat was Arsenal in 2002.
City's excellent form is built upon on a stifling defence. They have five clean sheets in their last five league games. In all competitions, they have 20 clean sheets this season, five more than any team in a top-five European league.
Ahead of the midweek trip to Turf Moor, Pep Guardiola has a series of interesting selection decisions to make.
John Stones and Joao Cancelo were both rested against Sheffield United at the weekend, while Aymeric Laporte will be hoping to keep his place in the team.
Meanwhile, with Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero both still out, Guardiola must manage his attacking options.
In preparation for the match with Burnley, we asked City fans what their preferred starting XI would be and here's what you went for.
As you can see, fans want to see Jesus continue in the centre-forward position. The Brazilian scored the only goal in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Blades.
There are five changes in total from the team that lined up against Sheffield United, with Kyle Walker, Aleks Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Ferran Torres and Phil Foden dropping out, and Joao Cancelo, John Stones, Rodri, Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling coming in.
Ahead of the match, Guardiola insisted that his focus is solely on Burnley, despite a crucial match against Liverpool at the weekend looming.
"We could drop points. Only I am concerned about Burnley. That’s all," he said in his pre-match press conference. "When you start to think about the next game you can drop points. All I am concerned about is Sean Dyche’s team, making a good selection and winning the game.
"You feel better when you win. When you win it is so addictive and you want to win again and again and again. When it comes to titles you want more," he asserted. "Especially because the players are good and the clubs where I have worked have been so good. This is the only reason. All athletes prefer to win than lose. It comes from there."
