Conclusion

Probably as tough as it gets for Burnley at home, but they have beaten the likes of Everton at Turf Moor and will definitely make it hard for any team that visits.


City will look at this sort of fixture and think three points, but too often they have fallen short this season against the smaller sides.

Prediction – Man City win
