Burnley XI vs Manchester City – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Burnley face one of the most daunting trips in English football on Saturday as they travel to take on Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Scott Parker’s side are in the midst of a poor run of form. They have gone four games without a win and suffered a shock home cup exit to League One Cardiff City in midweek. The Clarets’ historical record at this venue is dreadful, as they have lost their last seven Premier League visits without scoring a single goal.

Burnley team news

Scott Parker is boosted by the return of midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu from suspension, who is expected to start immediately.

However, the team remains without the injured trio of Connor Roberts, Jordan Beyer, and Zeki Amdouni. The match will also mark a reunion for Burnley defender Kyle Walker, who will be facing his former club Manchester City.

City boss Pep Guardiola was full of praise for the returning defender in his pre-match press conference. He called Walker, who won 15 major trophies with the club, ‘one of the greatest full-backs ever’.

Goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka, the league’s busiest shot-stopper, is likely to be tested, while the main attacking threat will come from the in-form Jaidon Anthony.
