Both the teams kicked off the game with lots of changes as City's gaffer Pep Guardiola left Aguero, David Silva, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling on the bench while Sean Dyche made 7 changes to his side which secured a hard-fought point against Watford on 19th January.

The changes also meant that the main target for Sean Dyche and co is to secure a decent place in Premier League table. Speaking to the media in the post-match conference, the Burnley's coach said,

"I am not going to overthink this one. We had to make decisions. We had a few touch and goes and they couldn’t play, because the bigger fight this season is the Premier League. It was as soon as the season started and will always be our biggest fight.

That’s no disrespect to any other competition, it’s just a fact of the club I work for.”

Burnley will face the rejuvenated Manchester United on Wednesday night while Manchester City will try to carry on their tremendous title chase against Newcastle United.
