Manchester City have not lost since the opening game of the Premier League season, and start the weekend just two points behind table-toppers Chelsea, following a thrilling draw with Liverpool last time out. Burnley, however, are in the relegation zone, having failed to win a single game so far.
The recent international break has taking its toll on City, though. Both number one goalkeeper Ederson and forward Gabriel Jesus were part of the Brazil squad that faced Uruguay on Friday and neither plays here. Ferran Torres, meanwhile, has broken his metatarsal and will be out for up to three months.
Summer signing Jack Grealish was substituted during England’s disappointing 1-1 draw with Hungary during the week but starts today, while Raheem Sterling also gets the nod up front. Defender John Stones, who was on the score-sheet for the Three Lions, makes his first league appearance of the season. Nathan Ake and Riyad Mahrez also come in.
Long-serving Burnley manager Sean Dyche recently signed a new contract, extending his stay at the club. However, his team failed to beat newly promoted Norwich last time out in the Premier League, and were left frustrated at having four penalty claims rejected. They will need their luck to change in the Manchester City vs Burnley live stream if they are going to get anything from their difficult trip to the Etihad Stadium.
To make things even more difficult, Burnley have been hit by Ben Mee testing positive for Covid-19, meaning he has to isolate and is ruled out of the game. It is unknown when he will return. The influential captain is replaced by Nathan Collins, while Jack Cork, Erik Pieters and Maxwell Cornet all start too, in place of Charlie Taylor, Aaron Lennon and Matej Vydra.
Here's how they line up:
Manchester City: Steffen, Stones, Ake, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Foden, Mahrez
Burnley: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Collins, Pieters, Cork, Brownhill, Westwood, Cornet, McNeil, Wood
