Manchester City come into the match on the back of a 1-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup on the weekend. It was a closely fought encounter and it appeared the tie was going to go to a replay but Manchester City struck in the 88th minute to seal the win.

The victory over Spurs means Manchester City are undefeated in their last 10 fixtures in all competitions.

They have won each of their last 7 games, with the additional victories coming over Everton and Newcastle United away plus Sheffield United at home in the Premier League, Huddersfield Town at home in the FA Cup, and Urawa Red Diamonds and Fluminense in the World Club Cup.

The stats show Manchester City are undefeated in their last 36 home games in all competitions. They have scored 2 or more goals in 7 of their last 8 home Premier League matches and are undefeated in their last 20 home league fixtures.

Burnley make the trip to the Etihad Stadium on the back of a 1-1 draw at home with Luton Town in the Premier League on the 12th of January.

Burnley took the lead in the 36th minute and led for much of the time that remained but conceded the equaliser in the 92nd minute, which was a big blow.

The draw with Luton Town means Burnley have won only 1 of their 8 most recent fixtures in all competitions and have failed to win any of their last 4 games.

There have been 3 defeats in their last 4 matches, with the defeats coming against Liverpool at home and Aston Villa away in the Premier League plus Tottenham Hotspur away in the FA Cup.

Trends show Burnley's performance has been disappointing of late, as they have won just 3 of their 21 most recent Premier League clashes.

They have won only 1 of their last 7 league games on the road and have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 17 away Premier League matches.

Team news and Manchester City have doubts over the fitness of defender Manuel Akanji and striker Erling Haaland.

Burnley travel without the injured quartet of Nathan Redmond, Luca Koleosho, Charlie Taylor, and Jordan Beyer. Sander Berge and Aaron Ramsey have both been struggling with illness.

The probability of a Manchester City win in this game is calculated at 72%, such is their quality and the struggles of Burnley. We expect to see the hosts scoring at least 3 goals and keep a clean sheet on their way to victory.
