Toure and Hendrick battle for the ball at the Etihad (Getty)

Pep Guardiola will hope that his Manchester City side can bounce back from their defeat at the weekend with a victory over Burnley at the Etihad Stadium.

The away form of Sean Dyche's Clarets leaves a lot to be desired. Burnley have picked up just one point on the road this season, the worst record of any team in the division.

For City, Sergio Aguero has been dropped to the bench, along with John Stones, Pablo Zabaleta and David Silva. Kelechi Iheanacho, Bacary Sagna, Jesus Navas and Gael Clichy start.

It’s a big game for…

Kevin De Bruyne: Last time out against Liverpool the Belgian struggled to really get anything going for City. He’ll need to pick himself up for this game because Burnley are flying at the moment. He is usually instrumental in the majority of City’s attacks.

Best stat…

7: Burnley have managed to score at least one goal in each of their last seven league fixtures against Manchester City.

Remember when…

Burnley came from two goals down to grab a 2-2 draw at the Etihad in December 2014. David Silva and Fernandinho gave City a 2-0 lead going into half-time, but second half goals from George Boyd and Ashley Barnes secured a point for the Clarets.

Player to watch…

Andre Gray: The Burnley frontman just can’t stop scoring at the moment and grabbed himself a hat-trick in the 4-1 drubbing of Sunderland on New Year’s Eve. Gray is a dynamic forward who will look to find gaps in the City defence and could exploit the centre-backs with his electric pace.
