We welcomed Scott Parker’s Clarets to the Etihad Stadium for the sixth league assignment of the campaign.
With seven points from our first five games, Pep Guardiola and City were on the hunt for three points in order to keep tabs on the early leaders.
With three wins and a draw in our previous four fixtures, City would surely be full of confidence.
Having won our last 13 meetings with Burnley, we also had the comfort of a strong record against our opponents.
Before kick-off, Burnley sat 16th with four points.
The game would also mark Kyle Walker’s first game at the Etihad Stadium since leaving the club after eight spectacularly successful years and 18 major trophies.
