The City will enter the field with a mixed team, but even so, a very strong squad is expected, especially with Phil Folden, Jack Grealish, and Alvarez in the team's attack. Fast players who should make the opposing defense very difficult.

Motivation within the club is also high as they achieved a magnificent victory in the middle of the week when they beat the German team RB Leipzig by 7-0 in a game valid for the Champions League.

At home, the team's numbers shine as they have won 7 in a row, 6 of which by more than two goals apart. The team's defense has been a big strength recently as they are managing to neutralize opposing plays well even against technically strong teams. Like for example vs Leipzig for the Champions League and vs Arsenal for the FA Cup.

The direct clashes against Burnley inside the Etihad Stadium show an absurd advantage for City since they have won all of their last 8 games conceding goals in just 2.

On the other hand, we need to point out that Burnley has been playing at a lower level since playing in the Championship. They are the current leaders of the second competition with 83 points, 24 wins, 11 draws, and 2 defeats.

Usually, Burnley is a team that produces less in the first half, on the other hand, their second half is really strong and they manage to regularly attack their rivals.

Recently (December 22) Burnley faced United in the EFL Cup and lost 2-0. This confrontation showed that even though the team had good performances in the second division, the difference for the big teams is still big.

As much as a good result today would be great for the club, anyway, the objective of the season is not this tournament. Climbing to the first division is the main objective of the club since it will have much more visibility in the Premier League in addition to being financially much better for the team. In this way, we can expect a team that, even looking for a good result, may not put all its strength into action.

City arrives on a high and even with an alternative team maintains a much higher level of play and has sufficient conditions to continue maintaining a winning record against the Burnley team.

My probable score here is 2-0, 3-0

Marco Antonio,

GL!

曼城将派上轮换准儿，但即便如此，仍然会是一支非常强大的球队，尤其是在球队的进攻中有菲尔·福尔登、杰克·格雷利什和阿尔瓦雷斯，是让对方防守变得非常困难的快速球员。

俱乐部内部的积极性也很高，因为他们在周中以 7-0 击败德国队 RB Leipzig 的欧洲冠军联赛有效比赛中取得了巨大的胜利。

在主场，球队取得了7连胜，其中6场净胜2球以上。球队的防守最近一直是一大优势，因为即使面对技术强大的球队，他们也能很好地压制对手的进攻。比如欧冠对阵莱比锡，足总杯对阵阿森纳。

在阿提哈德体育场内与伯恩利的直接交锋对曼城来说是一个巨大的优势，因为他们在过去的 8 场比赛中赢了所有比赛，只丢了 2 球。

另一方面，我们需要指出的是，伯恩利自从参加锦标赛以来一直在较低的水平上比赛。联赛他们以83分、24胜11平2负的战绩，是目前第二轮的领头羊。

通常，伯恩利是一支上半场表现不佳的球队，但另一方面，他们的下半场非常强大，他们经常攻击对手。

近日（12月22日）伯恩利在联赛杯中0-2不敌曼联。这场交锋表明，尽管球队在乙级联赛中表现不俗，但强队之间的差距还是很大的。

今天取得好成绩对俱乐部来说是件好事，无论如何，本赛季的目标不是这场比赛。升入超级联赛是俱乐部的主要目标，因为除了球队的财务状况好转之外，它将在英超联赛中获得更多知名度。这样一来，我们可以期待一支球队，即使期待一个好的结果，也可能不会全力以赴。

曼城到达高甚至与另类球队保持着高得多的发挥，有足够的条件继续保持对伯恩利队的胜利记录。

比分参考 2-0、3-0

祝好运
