Burnley vs Man City Predictions and Betting Tips
We kick-off Wednesday's Premier League action at Turf Moor as Burnley welcome league leaders Man City. With emphatic victories in their last three encounters, the Cityzens will be looking to make it four from four games against the Clarets. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Man City have scored 17 goals against Sean Dyche's side in the last four games. What's more, they have conceded just one, keeping clean sheets in the last three. It is also to be noted that Guardiola has never lost to Burnley across 12 games, with just one of those games ending in a stalemate.
The Clarets' momentum cut short
About a week ago, Burnley became the first team to beat Liverpool at Anfield since Crystal palace did so in 2017. This spurred them on to two more victories- one in the FA Cup and one in the league. However, their momentum quickly evaporated in their most recent game away at Chelsea. They didn't really threaten the Chelsea defence as the game ended with them on the wrong end of a 2-0 scoreline.
Clean sheets merchants at it again
The signing of Ruben Dias once again paid dividends as City kept yet another clean sheet in their most recent game at home to Sheffield United. With Jesus grabbing the solitary goal of the game, the Cityzens recorded their 5th consecutive clean sheet victory in the league. Also, they now find themselves three points ahead of Manchester United, having played a game less. As such, we expect stopping them this season to take quite a lot.

Burnley vs Man City Prediction: 0-3
The Clarets were put to the sword by Chelsea's new boss Thomas Tuchel just last weekend. They face an even tougher test this midweek as they welcome the league leaders who haven't conceded a goal in five consecutive premier league games, winning all five in the process. As such, we believe all roads point to yet another Man City victory.
