Team notes
Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi have been selected to deal with Burnley’s threat from set-pieces while the more experienced Danilo gets the nod over Zinchenko.
Ilkay Gundogan deputises for David Silva while John Stones is not fully fit.
Bernardo will again fill the attacking role Leroy Sane would normally fill.
Pep Guardiola has revealed injuries mean he can only name six subs for today’s game with the EDS also in action last night.
Statistics...
Burnley have beaten City just once in the past 18 meetings
The Blues have won six of the past seven games at Turf Moor
The Clarets go into this game in poor form with no wins from their last eight games
