LAST MEETING

City have already played Burnley this season, winning 3-0 in the Carabao Cup at Turf Moor.

In June, the teams met in the Premier League in a behind closed doors clash with City again emerging victors with a clinical 5-0 win.

FORM GUIDE

City are looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League after last weekend’s 2-0 loss at Tottenham.

A midweek Champions League win at Olympiakos guaranteed progression to the Round of 16.

Burnley won their first match of the campaign with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace last Monday.

WE’RE NOT REALLY HERE

Horlock will be joined by former teammates, Shaun Goater and our current women’s team manager, Gareth Taylor as well as presenter, Kyle Walker to provide in-depth analysis and opinion ahead of Saturday’s clash with the Clarets.

PEP PREVIEW

“It’s much better to have everyone. It’s tough but with this amount of games we need rotation - it will be so, so important.

“He [Sergio Aguero] is going to give us good moments this season. He’s still not in his best condition.

“We cannot forget how long his injury was. He needs to be so sharp to score goals in the box.

“One day we will score the goals, put on the table what we deserve. It’s time to put more players in the box, be positive and it will happen.

“We need to continue the good feelings and tomorrow try to score goals.”

SEAN DYCHE PREVIEW

“I think he [Pep Guardiola] has been a fantastic edition to the Premier League, with what he brings with his thoughts and what his team bring as well of course.

“They are still a top side, they all know their roles and responsibilities both in possession and out of possession.

“People forget about the work they do when they are out of possession so it’s always a tough task.”
