Match Preview:

The champions are top of the league but only on goal difference from Chelsea and Liverpool, therefore Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side will be eager to win this game. They will of course be big odds on to do so and any other result given that this is at the Etihad would be a major surprise.

City had won 4 games in a row before they faced Liverpool at Anfield and came away with a 0-0 draw. The result was seen as a good one for City. At home they have the perfect record of played 4 won 4 and are scoring on average 3 goals a game and have conceded just two times.

Burnley have recovered massively from their nightmare start to the season, which saw Sean Dyche’s team lose game after game and sent the club bottom of the league. They have since gone their last 3 games undefeated though, after wins against Bournemouth and Cardiff, and before the break they drew against Huddersfield.

The Terriers are now in 12^th place and will be looking for their 2^nd away win of the season, although if they were to get a draw at the weekend the team would be more than happy. They can be backed at odds up to 25.00 to win this match.
