Command Analysis

Burnley

Burnley have had a disappointing season. They made it to the last 16 in the League Cup, but were knocked out of the FA Cup in the very first round by the Championship residents Huddersfield (1:2).

In the Premier League, Sean Dyche's side had a good start but soon dropped out. At the moment, the Clarets are second-to-last in the standings with just 21 points from 27 games. They have one of the worst attacks in the league and had only 22 goals this season.

After a slender victory over Tottenham (1:0), today's hosts srew against Crystal Palace (1:1) and suffered three consecutive defeats.

The hosts will be without Vydra, Pieters, Mee, Collins, and Gudmundsson.

Manchester City

Manchester City look confident in the Champions League, where after finishing on top of Group A, the Sky-Blues crushed Sporting CP in the first knockout match (5:0 on aggregate).

The City team failed in the League Cup, but they are having a successful FA Cup campaign. The confidently beat Fulham (4:1), Peterborough United (2:0), and Southampton (4:1), and booked their spot in the semifinals.

In the Premier League, Pep Guardiola's team leads the standings with 70 points to their name. In the last month, however, they made a few mistakes and allowed Liverpool to catch up. In the last two games, Man City beat their cross-town rivals Man United (4:1) and drew against Crystal Palace (0:0).

Mendy, Palmer, and Dias have been ruled out of this fixture.

The hosts will focus on their defenses and try to hold Man City to a draw, but we doubt they will succeed. However, the visitors have a difficult game against Atletico in the Champions League next week, so we don't expect them to crush the Clarets.
