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

Goals are a problem for Manchester City due to only scoring 10 in eight Premier League matches. Yet a home match against Burnley, who arrive a point above the relegation zone and have only registered four themselves, is surely the ideal opportunity for Pep Guardiola’s team to become free-scoring again.
