Man City vs Burnley: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds today

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.

Date, kick-off time and venue

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.
