Preview
Burnley’s poor run of form continued with a third successive loss in the Premier League to Brentford in their previous clash last month.
Toney scored twice for the Bees to inflict a 12th loss of the season on 19th placed, Burnley; leaving them with a lot to do in the remaining part of the season.
Turf Moor needs to rally behind their players and provide them with the much-needed confidence as they could be headed to the Championship next season.
On the other hand, Manchester City got back to winning ways in the FA Cup with a 4-1 Q/F win over Southampton in March.
However; in the EPL a goalless draw against City saw them drop points leaving the title race on a knife edge.
City is on top of the table but with just a point’s difference over Liverpool. Hence, only a win suffices for the defending champions.
Both sides last met in October, where Man City won 2-0 at home through goals from Silva and De Bruyne.
