Burnley, on the other hand, is facing a real mammoth task. After the last three games in a row, which they were able to remain unbeaten in all competitions, the performance curve shows a little upwards. Nevertheless, they had hoped for more than a draw, especially in the last league game before the international break against bottom group Norwich. For the upcoming duel with the Himmelblauen from Manchester there are no signs of anything countable on the part of the "Clarets".

Manchester City stats & current form
 
After Manchester City drew against Liverpool last matchday and even lost to Paris in the Champions League, there is now a little more pressure on Pep Guardiola's men. Statistically speaking, in the Manchester City encounter against Burnley, the tip can only go in the direction of the home team. City beat Burnley 5-0 four times in a row at home in all competitions. No other team had such an impressive record before.

At home without a clean sheet
 
Manchester City makes it particularly difficult for the opposing offensive rows in their own stadium. In three league games they have played so far, they have not conceded a single goal. Consequently, City is the best defense with three goals conceded. After two outstanding 5-0 victories in the first two home games, the sobering 0-0 win against Ralph Hasenhüttl and Southampton on matchday five followed. At Manchester City vs. Burnley all predictions point to another clean slate.

Riyad Mahrez against Burnley on fire
 
When Burnley FC comes to the Etihad Stadium, Riyad Mahrez will be especially happy. The "Clarets" are the absolute favorite opponent of the Algerian dribbler. The 30-year-old scored more goals in the league against any other opponent - eight in number. Including a hat trick last season. He scored seven of the eight goals in the Citizens jersey.

On the other hand, another player is currently particularly impressive with templates. Gabriel Jesus prefers to come from the right side this season. In his six starts, he has already collected four assists. He already has as many assists as he did last season after 29 appearances.

First win of the season against the feared opponent?
 
Most recently Burnley was able to complete three competitive games in a row without defeat. The last two league games they separated each time with a draw. The 2: 2 on matchday six at the Foxes from Leicester can certainly be rated as a respectable success. This was followed by a disappointing 0-0 at home against bottom group Norwich. The only victories in this season for the "Clarets" so far have been in the League Cup. Despite everything, the odds on an away win at Manchester City vs. Burnley are record-breaking.

Defensive> offensive
 
If you look at the numbers in the league comparison, it quickly becomes clear that Burnley has one of the weakest defensive rows with eleven goals conceded. Nevertheless, they have conceded more than two goals so far. Opponents like Liverpool or Arsenal also found it difficult to score goals against Burnley. The biggest problem and the decisive reason for the current 18th place in the table, however, is clearly on their own offensive, where they have the second-worst record after Norwich with five own hits after seven games.

In view of the current situation in the table and the difficult games to come, Burnley cannot afford to give up a game despite an almost hopeless starting position against City. Every point counts and could be valuable in the end in the fight against relegation.

Will Sean Dyche catch up with Sir Alex Ferguson?
 
If reigning champions Manchester City take on Burnley FC on Saturday, one win could make Sean Dyche the only coach in history to beat three different defending champions with a club away from home. In the preseason they beat Liverpool at Anfield and in the season 17-18 the "Clarets" won at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. Personnel can again be hoped for the services of record buying Maxwell Cornet, who missed the last game after he had previously scored his debut goal against Leicester.

Expected formation of Burnley:
 
Pope - Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton - Cornet, Brownhill, Westwood, McNeil - Wood, Vydra
