Preview: Burnley vs Manchester City prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Premier League 2025-26

The Cityzens have won all of their last 14 fixtures against the Clarets.

Burnley FC are all set to battle it out against Manchester City for their matchweek 34 contest of the 2025-26 Premier League. Turf Moor is going to witness this entertaining outing between these clubs.

The Clarets have suffered back-to-back defeats in their last three matches and will be under pressure for their next one. They might even struggle in their upcoming contest because their recent performances against Man City have been poor.

Scott Parker’s men are going to be hosts for their upcoming outing, but it will not make things any easier for them. With just four wins in 33 games, Burnley FC are in 19th place on the league table. As things stand, they will be relegated at the end of the season.

The Pep Guardiola-led side have performed well in their last four matches and will be keen to extend their winning streak. They are coming in after humbling Arsenal in their previous league matchup. The Cityzens secured a 2-1 win after scoring a match-winner in the second half.

Manchester City now have a clear chance to secure three more points and equal the tally with the Gunners at the top of the Premier League points table. They will be away from home, but their confidence levels will be on the positive side.
