Manchester City have made a slow start to the new Premier League season. They drew 1-1 away at Arsenal last time out in the league. Erling Haaland scored their goal at the Emirates Stadium as they secured a point in London.
City then won 2-0 against Huddersfield Town in their last match in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. Phil Foden opened the scoring for them in West Yorkshire in the first half. Savinho then added their second near the end as they progressed to the next round of the competitions.
Pep Guardiola’s side are back in action this weekend as they search for more points. They face Burnley at home as they hunt for a win against the Clarets. Their upcoming opponents are back in the top flight following their promotion from the Championship along with Leeds United and Sunderland last term under Scott Parker. Here is a look at their predicted XI...
