Manchester City might no longer be the richest club in the Premier League following the recent takeover at Newcastle, but the champions will be keen to demonstrate that they remain top dogs when they play Burnley today.

Pep Guardiola’s side put a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham on the opening weekend of the season behind them with win against Arsenal, Chelsea and Leicester, and a 2-2 draw at Liverpool before the international break means they sit third.

City are two points off leaders Chelsea but should return with a win against Burnley side struggling under Sean Dyche.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Manchester City vs Burnley is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday, October 16, 2021 at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
