Burnley form and stats

Burnley's struggle is real here at Turf Moor with only 12 points collected from 13 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-6-5. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Burnley to get some points in this home game.

Milivojevic (own goal) was the last player to score a league goal for Burnley and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Burnley haven't scored in 314 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager Dyche led his Burnley to a defeat away at Brentford. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Turf Moor. Tarkowski was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.01 out of 10. The defender Tarkowski hit one key pass and won 7 of 10 duels.

Before that game, the home loss against Chelsea with the scoreline 0-4.

No one expects the home team to get anything from this game. It's not often a home team are such massive outsiders as in this game. We've searched our database for matches where Burnley had similar winning odds as today, and found four games. In these, the hosts won zero, drew zero and lost four. Betting people looking at handicaps might be interested to know that Burnley lost three similar games by at least two goals.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Everton are coming to town in four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Burnley here at Turf Moor in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 13 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Burnley have conceded 16 goals.

Manchester City form and stats

Manchester City's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Manchester City collect 36 points from their 15 away matches in the Premier League. 11 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Tottenham Hotspur game have they lost an away game, meaning Manchester City has taken points from 14 away matches in a row.

Two trips in a row for Manchester City, whose coach i Sala could celebrate last time after the FA Cup win against Southampton. Sterling, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.84. Sterling scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 6 times.

Before that, Manchester City travelled to Crystal Palace and returned home with a draw after the Premier League game finished 0-0.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with City given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed eleven matches with eleven wins as expected, zero draws and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won eight of these games by at least two goals.

After this away game Manchester City return home for a Champions League game against Atletico Madrid. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The travelling fans enjoy City's attacking play in away games, having scored 28 goals in 15 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
