Burnley FC v Manchester City showdown: what the media has to say
Bleacher Report - Saturday’s early evening match between Burnley and Manchester City could well turn out to be an intriguing affair. When the two sides met at the Etihad Stadium earlier in the season, the game finished 2-2, with City throwing away a two-goal lead. It was a fair reflection of the 90 minutes. Burnley caused City an array of problems, particularly in the second half, with the movement of Danny Ings hugely problematic for the Blues’ back four.
