Burnley hosts Manchester City in round 22 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 3rd at Turf Moor (Burnley)
Burnley was among the last to play in the previous round of the Premier League. The Clarets went to Stamford Bridge and conceded two unanswered goals from Chelsea. Sean Dyche's charges held out for almost a full half, but Azpilicueta, the longtime leader of the Pensioners, still opened the scoring in the 40th minute. And at the end, the whole intrigue was finished off by another Spanish defender, Alonso. Now Burnley is waiting for an equally difficult match against another giant. Fortunately, the team managed to break away from the relegation zone after two recent victories in the Premier League (over Liverpool and Aston Villa). Beyond that, the Clarets eliminated Fulham in the FA Cup. So, the defeat to Chelsea was not a tragedy. And perhaps it is not necessary to work like dogs against Man City. Maybe the leaders will be given a rest - on February 6, Burnley is to play with a direct competitor, Brighton.

Manchester City started the new season with certain difficulties. Then there were many misfires in the Premier League, because of which the team with a multimillion-dollar squad vegetated at the bottom part of the standings. But this is the case when football is a game of two halves, as they say. Competitors lost points and began to do it even more often in winter. The Citizens, on the contrary, began a winning streak, which has already reached 12 matches in a row in all tournaments. And the last defeat dates back to November 21, when Tottenham won 2-0. All this allowed Man City to take 1st place in the Premier League standings. Yes, the Saturday match with modest Sheffield United ended in a minimal victory, although Gabriel Jesus scored already in the 9th minute. Nevertheless, it also brought the next three points. Let’s note that Oleksandr Zinchenko played the full match on the left flank once again.
In the last 12 head-to-head meetings, Burnley managed to gain a draw only once. The winning streak of the Citizens amounts to seven games in a row, and a 1-0 score was recorded in only one match. In the 1st round, the grandee simply destroyed the Clarets (5-0). I can't believe that Burnley will be able to impose a real fight on the hyped-up City. We recommend betting on the victory of the visitors with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.5 handicap
