Manchester City face Burnley at the City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 21. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Manchester City are top of the league ahead of their rivals United by two points entering Saturday. City just thrashed Stoke at home 7-2 in their last contest, and are the hottest team in the league by a fair margin. Kevin de Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus all scored in the match and look impossible to slow down, let alone stop altogether. Pep Guardiola’s style of play is drilled into the squad now, and it will take a Herculean effort from the away team to get anything out of the game.
Unfortunately for Burnley, they have to face City away from home where they have not had much success in the Premier League. However, the Clarets have only lost one league match so far. Their defensive ways ensure low scoring matches that give them the best chance to gain points. Up against free-scoring City, they will face their biggest test of the season. Burnley have only allowed six goals in eight matches thus far, but have only scored eight of their own. To get points off of City, their defensive shape must be perfect.
