Manchester City is now the big favourite in the Premier League. Coach Pep Guardiola’s team has hardly suffered a setback in the last few weeks and their current form is impressive. The guest appearance at Burnley FC is now the next mandatory task for the Skyblues.
The bookmakers also agree that a victory for the Citizens is actually a must. Before the match between Burnley and Manchester City, the odds of the best betting providers show very clearly that the host is a blatant outsider. Despite everything, Burnley is a team that can always cause a surprise with defensive discipline and compactness.
The league leaders from Manchester want to live up to their role as favourites and leave no doubts. The game in Turf Moor kicks off on Wednesday evening.
Burnley – Statistics & Current Form
For the hosts from Burnley, games like the upcoming against Manchester City are an experience. Not too much is expected of the outsider and that is exactly where the opportunity lies. A compact appearance, many long balls and pin pricks forwards: sometimes it doesn’t take more to create a surprise against a top club that has something to offer.
But this surprise is currently rather unlikely against this opponent. In the Premier League table, both worlds separate, Burnley is in 16th place, the guests greet the top. According to odds, this also causes scepticism among bookmakers with regard to the hosts’ chances before the Burnley game against Manchester City.
The shape of the clarets is fine, however. Burnley was able to score six points from four games, which is a decent value and ensured a bit of calm in the relegation battle. Currently, the lead on the first relegation place, on which Fulham is, is already eight points.
Burnley wants to break the spell against Manchester City
Burnley FC hasn’t looked too good against Manchester City in recent years. The Clarets did not win nine games in a row in the Premier League, eight of them were even lost. This series is now to be broken. They rely on the home strength because, from the last six games on Turf Moor, a strong 13 points were achieved.
However, the opponents were of different calibre and Manchester City is in impressive shape. Hope definitely fades, which is why our forecast before the Burnley game against Manchester City is that the guests will leave the field as winners – by more than one goal.
Should Burnley create a surprise, goalkeeper Nick Pope will be the focus. With 4.2 balls held on average per game, he has the second-best value in the entire league.
The probable lineup of Burnley:
Pope – Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters – Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Gudmundsson – Rodriguez, Wood

Manchester City – Statistics & Current Form
After a start to the season that was rather mixed, Manchester City has become a veritable title favourite in recent weeks. The team of coach Pep Guardiola plays very stable, straightforward and is also very efficient on the offensive. There are hardly any mistakes at the moment, even the tight and uncomfortable games are won. With one game less, the club is now at the top of the table and three points ahead of their pursuers.
The last few weeks have been like a triumphal procession. In November against Tottenham ManCity suffered the last bankruptcy in the league, eight games in a row have now been won. What is particularly impressive is that Manchester City only conceded one goal during this period.

Even the failure of Kevin de Bruyne, the thinker and leader in the team, can be compensated.
