Prediction: 3-0
Burnley
Following an unlucky draw with Arsenal, Manchester City will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they take on Burnley on Matchday 6. The Citizens produced a fine display in the Premier League derby at the weekend, but Gabriel Martinelli eventually helped the Gunners grab one point from the match. Pep Guardiola’s men, though, will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways and we predict that they will go all guns blazing at the Clarets.
The likes of Omar Marmoush, Mateo Kovacic, and Rayan Cherki continue to miss out with injuries for the home team. Burnley, on the other hand, are seen as one of the main candidates for relegation and given their difficulties on the road, anything but a routine home victory would be a big surprise. You should know that Man City are eyeing their 14th consecutive win over Burnley in all competitions. Both Connor Roberts and Jordan Beyer are out of contention with injuries for the away side.
Highlighted Player (Mateo Kovacic):
Born to Croatian parents in Linz, Austria, Mateo Kovacic spent seven years in the LASK Linz youth academy before joining Dinamo Zagreb, where he showed a great deal of potential shortly after being promoted to the senior squad.
The good return of 7 goals in 43 league appearances saw him secure a high-profile move to Inter Milan, where he acted as both holding midfielder and attacking midfielder, during the three years at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. And despite not exactly impressing in Italy, Kovacic was purchased by mighty Real Madrid, where he has been ever since. The youngster is widely regarded as one of Croatia’s most talented footballers at the moment and he has represented the country on international stage since the age of 19.
In just three years he managed to make over 25 appearances for the national team, playing at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016 finals for Vatreni. Kovavic has yet to be given a real chance to impress at Real Madrid, but he has entire future ahead of him.
Highlighted Team (Burnley):
Burnley were one of the founding members of the Football League back in 1888. The Clarets did remarkably well to win the FA Cup trophy back in 1914 and the club owners have been trying to bring glory days back to Turf Moor ever since.
Burnley defeated Liverpool in the 1913/1914 FA Cup final and, no doubt, this is regarded as the greatest achievement in the club’s history. The Clarets finished the 2015/2016 Championship campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will participate in the English Premier League in the 2016/2017 season.
Burnley play their home games at Turf Moor and the capacity of the stadium is 21,401. The Clarets have won two Community Shield trophies so far, in 1960 and 1973, but they have yet to clinch the Premier League title. Claret is the dominant colour of the team’s home shirts.
