Sooner or later, Manchester City will return to winning ways and winning in streaks. This game looks like the first one in a row because City is welcoming relegation candidate Burnley. City drew 2-2 at Liverpool before the international break, in the game where they chased the result twice. But finally, they were even close to win that game and still are third-placed despite the great start into the season with only 3 goals conceded after 7 matches. The good news is the return of Kevin De Bruyne, the leader of the team in the attacking part of the game. He did well against LFC. There is no new injury worries for Pep Guardiola and his side, Mendy is suspended while Gundogan may return soon. Burnley travels to Manchester without a win in Premier League, sitting in 18th place with 3 points only. AS they scored 5 goals in 7 games, you won't expect them to score against City here. Stephens is out, together with Gudmundsson and Mee for visitors. The last time when Burnley visited here, it ended 5-0 for Citizens. But even worse, the crazy fact: Burnley lost their last 4 games vs City at Etihad by the identical result 5-0!

Having this in mind, it's not hard to say that I expect at least 3-0 this time. Guardiola and his players need a fresh dose of confidence after slipping in Liverpool in terms of losing points, but a confident win would bring the smiles in the dressing room and lift the momentum for upcoming games against tougher opponents.

曼城迟早会回到连胜的道路上。这场比赛看起来是反弹的第一场比赛，因为曼城欢迎降级候选者伯恩利。在国际比赛之前，曼城以2比2和利物浦打平，在这场比赛中他们两次追平比分。但最后，他们甚至接近赢得那场比赛，尽管赛季开局不错，7场比赛只丢了3球，他们仍然排在第三。好消息是凯文·德布劳内的回归，他是球队进攻端的领袖。他在对利物浦的比赛中表现很好。瓜迪奥拉和他的球队没有新的伤病担忧，曼迪暂时停赛，京多安可能很快就会回来。伯恩利在英超联赛中没有一场胜利，仅以3分排名第18位。他们在7场比赛中进了5球，你不会指望他们在对阵曼城的比赛中进球。斯蒂芬斯和古德蒙森、梅缺席。伯恩利上次来这里时，曼城5比0击败对手。但更糟糕的是，疯狂的事实是:伯恩利在伊蒂哈德球场与曼城的最后4场比赛中以同样的结果5-0落败!

考虑到这一点，不难说我希望这次至少是3比0。瓜迪奥拉和他的球员们需要一剂新的信心，在利物浦丢分的情况下，但一场自信的胜利将给更衣室带来微笑，并为即将到来的与更强大的对手的比赛带来动力。
