Manchester City vs Burnley Prediction

Manchester City Form

Manchester City look good before their upcoming match, in which they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat SSC Napoli by 2-0, before drawing 1-1 with Arsenal. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Huddersfield 0-2. Manchester City showed little mercy in their past six matches at Etihad Stadium, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target 14 times, while letting in six themselves.

Manchester City have already squandered enough points to put themselves under pressure, if they are to challenge for the title seriously in the Premier League this season.

Burnley Form

Burnley were only able to take a single draw from their past three games. They came up short in a 0-1 defeat against Liverpool before drawing 1-1 with Nottingham Forest. They were defeated once again, when Cardiff ran out 1-2 winners. Burnley only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Premier League. In these six matches they drew one and lost four as well as being outscored by 11 goals to eight.

Aiming for a mid-table finish Burnley would require a quick upturn in form to achieve even that.

While we don't believe Burnley are strong enough to prevent The Sky Blues from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.

Manchester City only drew once so far this season after five games played, in stead recording two wins and two defeats in the Premier League. Burnley are looking at one win, one draw and three defeats in the Premier League.
