Burnley come into the match knowing time is beginning to run out in their battle against the drop. Prior to the international break, Burnley lost 2-0 at Brentford, conceding both goals in the final 5 minutes of the game in what was a disappointing defeat.
That was the 4th successive game in the Premier League without a victory for Burnley and they have lost each of their 3 most recent league matches. The defeats have come at home against Leicester City and Chelsea plus away to Brentford.
Home form in the Premier League shows Burnley have recorded just a single victory from their 8 most recent fixtures and only 2 wins from their last 23 at Turf Moor, which is poor form. In fact, Burnley have achieved just 4 wins in their last 34 fixtures in all competitions and they are in trouble at the foot of the table.
Trends show Burnley have lost by 2 or more goals in their last 3 games in all competitions and have failed to score a single goal in all their last 3 Premier League matches.
Manchester City make the trip to Turf Moor having recorded a 4-1 win at Southampton last time out in the FA Cup.
That result means Manchester City are undefeated in each of their last 6 games in all competitions. However, they will be disappointed with the most recent result in the Premier League which was a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace.
Form in the Premier League shows Manchester City have won 2 of their last 4 fixtures, with the wins coming against Manchester United at home and Everton away. However, there have been dropped points in a home defeat against Tottenham Hotspur and the draw at Crystal Palace.
Trends show in all their 14 most recent away matches in the Premier League, there have been no losses for Manchester City. They have kept a clean sheet in each of their last 3 away league games.
Team news and Burnley are without suspended defender Nathan Collins, who was sent off at Brentford. They will also be missing Ben Mee, Erik Pieters, Johann Berg Gudmundsson, and Matej Vydra due to injury.
Manchester City are without injured central defender Ruben Dias. John Stones and Cole Palmer are doubts.
Both teams need maximum points for varied reasons as they battle for survival and the title respectively. Manchester City are clearly the better team and Burnley have been struggling at home. That means we expect to see the away team take maximum points and keep a clean sheet in the process.
