Burnley vs Manchester City Prediction

Burnley are 16th in the league table, but have found stability after a poor start to the season. Sean Dyche's side are eight points ahead of 18th placed Fulham, and should have enough to ensure survival, with Dyche continuing to impress despite limited resources.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table, three points ahead of second-placed Manchester United. They are now the favourites to win the league, and are in fine form coming into this game.

Pep Guardiola's side should have enough to secure the win.

Prediction: Burnley 0-3 Manchester City
