Another Saturday, another jam-packed programme of Premier League football to get stuck into - and with the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Arsenal all in action, there’s plenty on offer. So sit back, put your feet up and relax as we bring you all the updates from across the country.
Live Updates
Burnley 0-1 Manchester City
38: Kevin De Bruyne finds space on the edge of the box and unleashes a low drive. Nick Pope parries the shot but only to Sergio Aguero who from the penalty spot fails to control the ball and a deflection off his knee safely returns the ball to the goalkeeper.
Burnley 0-1 Manchester City
Danilo became the sixth Manchester City player to score from outside the box this season. It really was some strike.
Burnley 0-1 Manchester City
31: Ben Mee goes close to equalising. He swings his left foot at a looped ball and fires a shot goal-bound but Ederson gets across well to turn the ball behind for a corner. That's some technique for a central defender.
Burnley 0-1 Manchester City
29: Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling combine well on the left side and the German fires in a low ball back to Sterling who is beaten to the cross by Kevin Long.
Burnley 0-1 Manchester City
28: Raheem Sterling gets space on the left flank, cuts inside and shoots but his effort is aimed straight at Nick Pope. City are really in control, which will surprise nobody.
Tough task
23: Sean Dyche has never won a Premier League game with Burnley after conceding the first goal. It would be some effort to make that change this afternoon.
Burnley 0-0 Manchester City
19: A long diagonal ball towards Sam Vokes forces Ederson to rush out and clear the ball from well outside his area. Nicolas Otamendi has his goalkeeper thank after the Argentine defender was caught napping when Vokes ran in behind him.
Burnley 0-0 Manchester City
14: City work a short corner to Bernardo Silva who crosses towards Vincent Kompany. The pass is aimed at the back post and a touch from Ashley Barnes complicates things for Nick Pope who goes down holding his knee after scooping up the ball. He's back on his feet but Anders Lindegaard is warming up.
10: Burnley are, as expected, defending well. City are looking at Bernardo Silva and Kyle Walker to find an opening on the right wing but space is very limited.
Burnley 0-0 Manchester City
5: City win a corner and Nicolas Otamendi heads on at the front post to Vincent Kompany who directs a header to goal but it is saved. In his attempts to stop Kompany, Phil Bardsley has taken a knock, remind me, which team needs greater protection from referees?
Burnley 0-0 Manchester City
4: Not a huge deal of action in the first couple of minutes. Vincent Kompany has already imposed himself on Ashley Barnes who takes some time to get to his feet after losing an aerial duel.
"We were lucky"
Bernardo Silva is the latest from the Manchester City camp to seek more protection from referees.
Last Time
Burnley had a miserable afternoon at the Etihad when these two sides met in the Premier League earlier in the season. City enjoyed 78% of the ball and goals from Sergio Aguero, Nicolas Otamendi and Leroy Sane rounded off a poor afternoon for Sean Dyche's side who failed to register a shot on target.
Team News
Scott Arfield and Ashley Westwood make way for Sam Vokes and Aaron Lennon, who makes his first Premier League start for his new side.
Manchester City name only six players on their bench, yes six, yes Manchester City. On the pitch, Danilo, Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan return to the starting eleven with new record signing Aymeric Laporte having to make do with a seat on the bench.
