Man City – Burnley: The former king decided to return to the track

After officially winning tickets to the Champions League knockout round this season, Man City will return to the Premier League to welcome the not-so-appreciated opponent, Burnley.

After passing the group stage of the Champions League this season, Manchester City will host Burnley in round 10 of the Premier League. Coach Pep Guardiola and his teachers have a relatively slow start in the Premier League this year. However, this is only the 10th round and the former English football king can completely return to the championship race if he knows the score in the upcoming confrontations like Burnley.

The home field advantage will be the fulcrum for Man City to be more confident before the Burnley competition.

13th place with only 12 points after 8 matches was not an achievement worthy of Man City’s position. Therefore, they need to quickly return to their level when they can temporarily put aside their concern for the European arena.

The 0-2 defeat to Tottenham in the previous round has pointed to many weaknesses in the four-man defense of coach Pep Guardiola. The Spanish strategist certainly saw this limitation and he will try to do everything as soon as possible to overcome in the future.

Fortunately for Man City as their upcoming rival, Burnley is a team with a pretty bad attack. Coach Sean Dyche and the Sheffield team have scored the fewest Premier League goals this season (4 goals). The weakness of the attack made Burnley only scored 1 goal in the last 5 matches (1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses).

Obviously, facing Man City now is a too difficult challenge for Burnley. Confrontation history is also against the visitors when Burnley has lost the last 6 times against Man City. With the current form, it is too difficult for Burnley to make it difficult for the Etihad home team even though they suddenly had their first victory this season in the reception of Crystal Palace in the previous round.

A match is considered a difference and will hardly have a surprise happening at Etihad this weekend. Man City fans are probably more interested in the score of the match and waiting for a rain of goals that the home team hits Burnley in the context that the former Premier League king needs 3 points to return to the championship race.
