Manchester City Preview – Easy three points for City?
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are in third place in the Premier League after seven games played. So far, the Citizens have collected 14 points after four wins, two draws and a defeat. Chelsea are top, while Liverpool sit second on 15.
Man City are undefeated in the Premier League since an opening weekend loss at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Since then, the champions have won four and drawn two. Before the international break, the Citizens were involved in a four-goal thriller at Anfield, leaving with a deserved point in a 2-2 draw.
Pep’s boys will want a comfortable victory here before Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League trip to Bruges. In truth, Man City should cruise to victory, and the bookies are offering just 1/9 for the home win.
Burnley Preview – Another heavy loss at the Etihad?
Burnley have a miserable recent record against Man City, and it could get even worse this weekend. Sean Dyche’s troops head to the Etihad Stadium having failed to win any of their opening seven. They are one of only four clubs yet to pick up three points this term.
Burnley have struggled so far, sitting in the drop zone after amassing just three points from a possible 21. The Lancashire side lost four of their opening five but have responded with back-to-back draws. Before a goalless draw at home with Norwich City, Burnley held Leicester City to a 2-2 draw at the King Power Stadium.
