Manchester City host Burnley in Monday night’s Premier League action after getting their campaign up and running in style this week.
Arsenal were swept away at the Etihad Stadium last week with Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden on target.
With Liverpool edging closer to a first title in 30 years, there is little for City to play for in the league. That is unlikely to deter them however with Pep Guardiola desperate for a strong finish to build momentum towards their Champions League charge in August.
Burnley meanwhile are safely in midtable - now just a point behind Arsenal and three off Tottenham.
Date, time and venue
Man City vs Burnley is scheduled for 8pm BST kick-off on Monday 22 June.
An empty Etihad Stadium is the home venue.
Team news
Manchester City will be without Eric Garcia for the visit of Burnley on Monday night while fellow defender John Stones and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo are doubtful.
Garcia suffered a concussion after a nasty accidental collision with team-mate Ederson in the closing stages of the 3-0 midweek win over Arsenal on Wednesday and protocol dictates he will be sidelined for at least a week.
Stones (ankle) and Bravo (hamstring) were absent at the Etihad Stadium after sustaining minor injuries in the build-up to the Premier League resumption and they are unlikely to be back for the Clarets visit.
Burnley boss Sean Dyche expects to have several players missing for Monday's trip as the Clarets resume their Premier League campaign.
Johann Berg Gudmundsson (calf), Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood (both groin) will miss out with injuries, while Dyche remains unsure if he will be able to call on players whose contracts are due to expire at the end of the month, with no short-term extensions yet agreed.

Prediction: Manchester City 2-0 Burnley
City were impressive in their first outing against Arsenal last week, but you would expect Burnley (or any other team for that matter) to have more assured defenders that David Luiz.
That said, we still expect a comfortable City win tonight.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
These sides have met 11 times in the Premier League, with City boasting seven wins to Burnley's one, with four matches ending in a draw.
Burnley have never won at Etihad Stadium.
