Manchester City v Burnley team news: Confirmed line-ups as Guardiola makes key decision
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has chosen to rest one of his most important players.
Manchester City will likely take a different approach to their game with Burnley to the rearguard action they produced against Arsenal, but will attempt to do so without one of their key players.
City conceded a 93rd-minute equaliser last Sunday as they were left to settle for a 1-1 draw with Arsenal having allowed the Gunners to have possession for most of the contest.
Pep Guardiola’s men will likely dominate the ball in this one, though, despite the absence of a player critical to their hopes of competing with Liverpool and Arsenal for the Premier League title.
