Etihad Stadium - Manchester
Manchester City have won their last 14 meetings with Burnley in all competitions, their joint fourth longest winning run against an opponent.
Burnley have conceded 10 goals in their three Premier League away games this season, more than they did in 23 games on the road in the Championship last season (8).
Burnley’s Maxime Estève became just the sixth player in Premier League history to score two own goals in the same game, and first since Craig Dawson with Wolves against Everton last season.
Manchester City have won each of their last 13 meetings with Burnley in all competitions by an aggregate score of 46-2. Only against West Brom (14 ending Jan 2018), Bournemouth (15 ending Feb 2024), Watford (16 ongoing), and Fulham (18 ongoing) have the Citizens ever enjoyed a longer winning run in their history.
Burnley are winless in their last 19 league visits to Manchester City (D6 L13) since a 5-2 win in March 1963. The Clarets have lost each of their last seven Premier League games at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City have just seven points from their five Premier League games this season (W2 D1 L2), their lowest tally at this stage since 2006-07 (4). However, the Citizens have spent 54% of their game time in a winning position this term, more than any other side.
Manchester City have won 22 of their last 24 Premier League games against promoted sides (D2), since a 2-1 loss against Leeds United in April 2021.
No side have faced more shots (95), more shots on target (25) or has a higher xG against (10.5) than Burnley in the Premier League this season. However, Man City are averaging 11 shots per game in the Premier League this term, their lowest on record in a single campaign (since 2000-01).
