The league looks all-but wrapped up for Pep Guardiola’s side, who sit 15 points clear of second-placed Manchester United as it stands. Since suffering their first defeat of the top-flight campaign against Liverpool, City have won their last four games across all competitions, booking their place in the League Cup final in the process.
After a brilliant run that put them in seventh, Burnley have faltered in recent weeks, having failed to win a game since December 12. And it is difficult to foresee a win for Sean Dyche’s side today against a City team in scintillating form.
Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of today’s early Premier League encounter, as Burnley welcome runaway league leaders Manchester City to Turf Moor.
