EFL Cup
Burnley vs Manchester City
14:00 ET
Burnley come into today's game having yet to pick up a point in the Premier League. The Clarets opened their 2020/21 top-flight campaign with a 4-2 hammering away at Leicester and were beaten 1-0 at home by Southampton a week later.
Sean Dyche's side has seen more success in the cup this year, beating fellow Premier League side Sheffield United on penalties in the second round before dispatching of the Championship's Millwall 2-0 in the third round in order to progress to the round of 16.
Manchester City started their Premier League season more strongly with a 3-1 win at Wolves on opening day. The Citizens followed that up with a 2-1 win at home to Bournemouth in the third round of the Carabao Cup in order to earn a place in the round of 16.
It hasn't all been plain sailing for Pep Guardiola's men, though. In their last outing, the Sky Blues were humiliated by Leicester in a 5-2 defeat at the Etihad. Despite Pep's side having the majority of possession and chances in the game, Man City gave away three penalties and ultimately sealed their own fate.
