Man City vs Burnley - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Man City are in a rich vein of form as they prepare to host Burnley on Wednesday night
- City thrashed the Clarets on opening night of 2023/24 season
- Vincent Kompany's side are winless in four games
Manchester City are beginning to purr once more and the signs are ominous for Burnley as they travel to the Etihad on Wednesday night.
The Cityzens finally broke their duck at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday night as Nathan Ake's late goal saw them progress into the fifth round of the FA Cup. They're yet to lose since being crowned world champions just before Christmas, with Liverpool's current five-point buffer at the Premier League summit looking rather slim.
City also have a game in hand on the league leaders.
Pep Guardiola's side thrashed Burnley 3-0 on the opening night of the 2023/24 season; a result which set the tone for the Clarets' rather meek campaign thus far. Vincent Kompany's side were denied three points by a late Luton Town equaliser last time out and currently sit five points adrift of safety.
Here's 90min's preview of Wednesday night's Premier League clash.

Man City vs Burnley score prediction
Burnley will be considerably fresher for this fixture but the visitors are still going to have to pull off a mini-miracle to escape the Etihad with anything but a comfortable defeat on Wednesday.
The Clarets have evolved into a meek iteration of their once exuberant second-tier selves and are not capable of stunning this City side in their current mood. Guardiola's men weren't at their absolute best on Friday night but got a huge monkey off their backs by finally scoring and winning in N17.
The hosts should win at a canter on home soil.
Prediction: Man City 4-0 Burnley
