Manchester City vs Burnley Preview prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Cityzens emerged victorious when they last met.

Manchester City are all set to go head-to-head against Burnley for their matchweek 6 fixture of the English Premier League 2025-26 season. The Etihad Stadium is all set to witness the intense clash.

The Pep Guardiola-led side were held to a draw against Arsenal in their previous league fixture. They were up and ahead, but gave the lead away during the final moments of the game. Manchester City will be keen on securing a win here and the home ground is going to be a big advantage for them.

The Clarets haven’t been able to kick off their new season like they would’ve wanted. Burnley have only secured one win in their five Premier League games of the new season. They have struggled against Man City in the past and the upcoming fixture is not going to be an easy contest for them.

Players to Watch

Erling Haaland (Man City)

The Norwegian forward was not part of Man City’s squad in their Carabao Cup game, but he will be ready to lead his side in the attacking front for the upcoming Premier League fixture. Erling Haaland scored an important goal against Arsenal, but it was not enough. He is looking good this season and is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
