Manchester City return to Premier League action on Saturday, aiming to continue their recent revival when they host Burnley at the Etihad Stadium.
After a slow start to the season, Pep Guardiola’s side are now unbeaten in three league games and will see this fixture as the perfect opportunity to secure a convincing win.
History is overwhelmingly on their side. City have won their last 13 consecutive matches against the Clarets in all competitions, scoring 46 goals in the process. Another victory is widely expected as they look to find the consistency required for a successful title defence.
