"City conceded a 93rd-minute equaliser last Sunday as they were left to settle for a 1-1 draw with Arsenal having allowed the Gunners to have possession for most of the contest. Pep Guardiola's men will likely dominate the ball in this one, though, despite the absence of a player critical to their hopes of competing with Liverpool and Arsenal for the Premier League title."
"The big news for City is the absence of midfielder Rodri, who does not feature in the squad. Rodri was deemed fit enough to play against Arsenal last week as he continues to work his way back to his best after missing most of last season with a serious knee injury. But, with City facing Monaco in the Champions League in midweek, the Spain international has been given a rest."
Manchester City conceded a 93rd-minute equaliser to draw 1-1 with Arsenal after allowing heavy opposition possession. Pep Guardiola intends a more ball-dominant approach against Burnley. Midfielder Rodri is absent from the squad as he is being rested ahead of the midweek Champions League tie with Monaco. Rodri had recently returned from a serious knee injury and was fit enough to play against Arsenal but is being preserved for European action. The City starting lineup features Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly, Nico, Reijnders, Savinho, Foden, Doku and Haaland. Burnley's named XI includes Dubravka, Walker, Esteve and others.
