Manchester City travel to Burnley on Saturday as Pep Guardiola's side look to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League.

Grealish opened the scoring as he looked to improve his output for Guardiola's side, with Foden scoring a late double to seal all three points and keep City ahead of Liverpool in the title race. Burnley looked to find a late equaliser but were undone with a quick counter-attack as Foden sealed all three points for City and kept them top of the Premier League. Here are the full-time match stats. City's pressure finally resulted in a second after some good counter-pressing from Sterling allowed the English winger to drive forward and drill the ball across the box to Foden who powered his shot past Pope to make it 2-1 with just minutes to play. Foden bagged his second and City's third just minutes later with one of the final kicks of the game as De Bruyne played the 21-year-old through on goal on the counter-attack, with Foden slotting the ball under Pope and into the bottom corner to make it 3-1. Wout Weghorst was able to level the score just before half-time with a powerful strike past Ederson at the near post making it 1-1. We used FIFA 22 to get a score prediction for Burnley against Man City on Saturday and this is what happened.

MAN CITY boss Pep Guardiola has showered Erik ten Hag with praise by making a 'sack' joke.

Ederson and John Stones are fit to feature in Manchester City's squad for the game against Burnley today.

Raheem Sterling started the FA Cup win over Southampton last time out and the winger’s form for club and country earns him a first Premier League start in three games from Pep Guardiola. But he is back in to start. The Premier League leaders make the short trip to Turf Moor shortly after Liverpool’s game against Watford, meaning a win will likely be the only result to maintain the defending champions’ advantage at the top.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said Ajax Amsterdam manager Erik ten Hag could be a strong candidate to succeed him.

"Could Erik ten Hag be here at City? Definitely. I think he could be the one," Guardiola said. "My focus is currently only on Ajax," Ten Hag said. Guardiola joined City in 2016 and has a contract until the end of next season.

Although Guardiola would be happy to see Ten Hag succeed him at the Etihad, he's also willing to give him a reference for the United job. Ten Hag went on to say: "If you are ambitious, you would of course want to take the next step in the Bundesliga, Premier League or La Liga at some point. Since then, the Dutchman has coached Utrecht and won two Eredivisie titles, two Dutch Cup and the Dutch Super Cup at Ajax. When asked if Ten Hag could succeed him, Guardiola joked: "Do you want to leave [the press conference]? Are you sacking me?" Thank you for subscribing!We have more newslettersShow meManchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes Erik ten Hag could be "the one" to replace him at the Etihad, despite giving the Ajax boss a glowing reference for the Manchester United job. Ten Hag is the favourite to succeed interim manager Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford and has been interviewed for the position. Ten Hag worked under Guardiola at Bayern Munich between 2013 and 2015, taking charge of the club's second team.

Jack Grealish can take his international form into Manchester City's testing run against defensive sides Burnley and Atletico Madrid before Liverpool.

Similarly, Foden and Silva, as false nines, can drop deep to pull centre-backs away from zones for others to run into. That's why Guardiola's attackers will be so important with Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Sterling and Riyad Mahrez needing to step up in these tight matches. And they’re allowed to go and score goals." While the term is obviously meant as an insult to the Spanish side, it reflects a shared view in attempting to frustrate opponents and play to your defensive strengths. "He's shown me every other stat in the world that you would be happy with apart from goals and assists. "It's a brilliant time to be in my shoes," he said after impressing in England's 3-0 victory over Ivory Coast in midweek.

Manchester City take on Burnley at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday, looking to react to Liverpool's result against Watford.

Going into the weekend just a point ahead of Liverpool, City kicked-off at Burnley in second place after Jurgen Klopp's side beat Watford in the lunchtime game. With Liverpool visiting the Etihad next week, City know the importance of a win to ensure they go into that clash top of the Premier League table. With the next four games throwing up double-headers against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, this is the final chance for players to impress Guardiola before a season-defining fortnight in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.

Manchester City face Burnley in the Premier League at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.

"The away team will undoubtedly see a lot of the ball and have close to 75 per cent possession, but will they manage to score goals? "Burnley, on the other hand, will look to keep it tight and take their chances from set-pieces. But considering City are up against a Burnley side who have won just three times in the league all season, they will fancy their chances of reclaiming top spot if Liverpool prove triumphant earlier in the day. I do think they'll win though." The stalemate with Patrick Vieira's side opened the door for Liverpool to move within a point of them in the table and they did just that, beating Arsenal 2-0 48 hours later. That is because Liverpool kick-off at 12:30pm on Saturday and a win against Watford would see them move above Pep Guardiola's side.
