A total of 20 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 0 from The Clarets and 20 netted by The Citizens. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.33.
📋 Team News: Burnley
In our view, The Clarets should employ a 4-2-3-1 system this time featuring Arijanet Muric, Connor Roberts, Dara O'Shea, Jordan Beyer, Ameen Al Dakhil, Josh Brownhill, Jack Cork, Luca Koleosho, Zeki Amdouni, Anass Zaroury and Lyle Foster.
📋 Team News: Manchester City
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has some current player fitness concerns. Josko Gvardiol (Thigh Problems), Kevin De Bruyne (Muscle partial avulsion) and Zack Steffen (Knee Surgery) are those who can’t be considered.
It’s our belief that The Citizens seem likely to make use of a 3-2-4-1 system, starting the game with Ederson Moraes, Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji, John Stones, Rodri, Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez, Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland.
💡 Prediction
Our feeling is that Burnley should be able to put one past this Manchester City outfit, although one goal might not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We’ve gone for both teams to score in a 1-2 advantage for Manchester City at the end of this one. There looks to be little in this one.
