I don’t know if I could feel worse for a team than I do Burnley ahead of this clash with Manchester City. First and foremost, I love Manchester City’s team total over 2.5 goals. This is a side that just beat Arsenal, hung three on Chelsea, and put four past Liverpool. In the reverse fixture, they handled Burnley 5-1. If anything, this City attack looks even sharper now, and they’ve quietly tightened things up defensively. As for Burnley, it’s been rough. They’re conceding 2.03 goals per match with a 1.84 xGA, and they haven’t offered much going forward either. This sets up perfectly for a City side in a title race that knows that it could come down to goal differential.
