Command Analysis
The reigning champion of the Premier League opened the season back in early August in the Community Shield match against the winners of the previous season's FA Cup, Leicester City. Manchester City lost to Leicester with a score of 0:1, and in the first round of the Premier League, they also lost to Tottenham with the same score.
Since then, the Sky Blues know no defeat. After 7 rounds, they have 14 points (4 victories and 2 draws) and are occupying 3rd place in the table. The team has an outstanding performance in defense - they have conceded only 3 goals this season. After winning against Chelsea away from home (1:0), City shared points with Liverpool (2:2).
So far, Man City have earned 3 points in the Champions League group stage. They recorded a home victory against RB Leipzig (6:3), which was followed by an away defeat against PSG (0:2). Man City are third in their group, after PSG and Brugge. Next week, the Sky Blues will travel to Brugge, hoping to improve their standings.
Delap and Mendy have been ruled out of this fixture. Gundogan's appearance is a doubt.
Last season, Burnley finished in 17th place, which allowed them to retain their residence in the Premier League. This season Burnley have a goal to score 40 points. The club spent several million pounds on new players in an attempt to strengthen the squad.
Burnley were off to a good start in the League Cup.The Clarets successfully passed two rounds, beating Newcastle (1:0 P) and Rochdale (4:1), and now they will play in the Round of 16.
Sean Dyche's men are yet to win a game in this season of the Premier League. They scored 3 points with three draws and currently sit in 18th place in the table. Burnley demonstrate poor attacking performance - they only scored 5 goals in 7 games.

Tip and bets
Man City won 9 out of 10 previous head-to-head games, and today the visitors have almost no chance of success. Pep Guardiola definitely is not happy with just 3rd place in the table and will motivate his team to win. Burnley are going through a difficult period, and we don't expect them to put up a fight against the formidable opponent.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-2.5) to Manchester City
The visitors have real issues with their attacking line and have scored only 5 goals in this season so far. Moreover, Man City won by a margin of at least 3 goals in the last 4 out of 5 head-to-head games. We suggest playing that line today.
Second bet - Manchester City to win by 3 goals
