Manchester City take on Burnley tonight with Erling Haaland back in the squad at last.

The reigning Premier League champions have dominated the Clarets in this fixture over the years - losing only once since 1974.

A daunting return to his old stomping ground is set to become even tougher for Vincent Kompany after Haaland was passed fit to play for the first time in over a month.

With Liverpool playing Chelsea on the same evening, City could cut the gap to the Reds down to just two points at the summit while still holding a game in hand.

For struggling Burnley, the most unlikely of wins could see them draw to within two points of safety.

Man City vs Burnley is scheduled for a 7:30pm GMT kick-off tonight on Wednesday January 31, 2024.

The match will take place at the Etihad Stadium.
