National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Burnley or Manchester City that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Burnley and Manchester City.
Burnley form and stats
Last season their Carabao Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.Burnley have collected 0 points from their Premier League home games so far after 0-0-1. Burnley has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager S. Dyche and the players. The Burnley manager S. Dyche might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The Burnley fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at Turf Moor: A 0-1 defeat against Southampton. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Millwall.
There will be little rest for Burnley after this match as they are travelling to Newcastle United for a Premier League game in only three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Burnley's 1 home game: 0 goals, 1 conceded.
Manchester City form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for Manchester City, as they won the Carabao Cup.1 win, 0 draws and 0 losses. That’s the product of Manchester City playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. Having won their last three away games Manchester has no reason to fear anyone.
Manchester's previous game was their home loss versus Leicester City (2-5). A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs AFC Bournemouth.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Leicester City was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Manchester manager J. Guardiola i Sala as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Leeds United.
Manchester City have the goal stats of 3-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
