What TV channel is Burnley vs Man City on? Kick-off time, team news, odds and predictions

After two massive victories over Tottenham and Manchester United to give them the initiative in the Premier League title race, Man City mustn't grow complacent when they travel to Burnley on Sunday.

Although the two sides have already faced each other twice this season, with City winning 5-0 in each, Sean Dyche's side have improved considerably in recent weeks and are much more like the Burnley of old.

They are combative, tough to break down and have threats of their own in Dwight McNeil, Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood. The Clarets have also won three of their last four games, with the other being a 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Monday.

With Liverpool playing the Premier League's whipping boys Huddersfield Town on Friday they're likely to have retaken top spot so the pressure will be on City not to slip up at Turf Moor after already doing so much of the hard work.

Team news for Burnley vs Man City

Fernandinho is a doubt for Sunday's game after picking up an injury in the derby victory against United. Pep Guardiola offered an update on his fitness and said: "He has a problem with his knee, we'll see tomorrow."

City will definitely be without Kevin De Bruyne, however, who remains injured. "He's still not fit, but he's getting better," Guardiola said.

Ilkay Gundogan is expected to be okay after picking up a knock at Old Trafford but it's not known if Benjamin Mendy will return to the team after missing the game.

Burnley are without Steven Defour, Peter Crouch and Aaron Lennon but hope to have Phil Bardsley back.
