Man City vs Burnley - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction

Manchester City are beginning to purr once more and the signs are ominous for Burnley as they travel to the Etihad on Wednesday night.

The Cityzens finally broke their duck at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday night as Nathan Ake's late goal saw them progress into the fifth round of the FA Cup. They're yet to lose since being crowned world champions just before Christmas, with Liverpool's current five-point buffer at the Premier League summit looking rather slim.

City also have a Game in hand on the league leaders.

Pep Guardiola's side thrashed Burnley 3-0 on the opening night of the 2023/24 season; a result which set the tone for the Clarets' rather meek campaign thus far. Vincent Kompany's side were denied three points by a late Luton Town equaliser last time out and currently sit five points adrift of safety.

Here's 90min's preview of Wednesday night's Premier League clash.

Man City team news

City's injury list is dwindling and Guardiola was hopeful ahead of Friday's win that Erling Haaland, who returned to training last week, would be fit enough to feature on Wednesday.

However, the prolific Norwegian likely won't start so Julian Alvarez should retain his place up top.

Manuel Akanji is the only other doubt for the hosts with John Stones returning to the bench against Tottenham. Ederson will also come back into the starting XI and there could be a first Premier League start since August for Kevin De Bruyne.

Man City predicted lineup vs Burnley

Man City predicted lineup vs Burnley (3-2-4-1): Ederson; Walker, Dias, Ake; Rodri, Kovacic; Silva, De Bruyne, Foden, Grealish; Alvarez.

Burnley team news

It's been over two weeks since Burnley were last in action but they're still without exciting young winger Luca Koleosho due to a knee injury. The Italian isn't expected to return until March.

Kompany otherwise doesn't have too many concerns, though Charlie Taylor and Jordan Beyer are both doubts.

Burnley predicted lineup vs Man City

Burnley predicted lineup vs Man City (4-4-2): Trafford; Vitinho, O'Shea, Beyer, Al-Dakhil; Gudmundsson, Cullen, Brownhill, Odobert; Foster, Amdouni.

Man City vs Burnley score prediction

Burnley will be considerably fresher for this fixture but the visitors are still going to have to pull off a mini-miracle to escape the Etihad with anything but a comfortable defeat on Wednesday.

The Clarets have evolved into a meek iteration of their once exuberant second-tier selves and are not capable of stunning this City side in their current mood. Guardiola's men weren't at their absolute best on Friday night but got a huge monkey off their backs by finally scoring and winning in N17.

The hosts should win at a canter on home soil.

Prediction: Man City 4-0 Burnley

Mir “scared” of repeating Lorenzo’s Honda MotoGP failure

Image
The 2020 world champion switched to the factory Honda squad for this season after Suzuki quit the series at the end of last year. Mir is the fifth different rider in six years to partner Marc Marquez at Honda, following Dani Pedrosa in 2018, Lorenzo in 2019, Alex Marquez in 2020 and Espargaro in 2021/2022. Pedrosa’s final year was his first winless one in MotoGP , while Lorenzo’s MotoGP career was effectively ended by the woes he suffered at Honda. Alex Marquez has since departed to Gresini Ducati having struggled at LCR Honda over the last two years. Mir’s season has been a shocker so far having scored just five points from the first five rounds in a generally tough year for Honda – albeit one in which Alex Rins did win the Americas GP for LCR. Following a double crash at the French GP, Mir admits he is “scared” of suffering the same fate as Lorenzo and Espargaro at Honda given the difficulties he currently faces. “For sure I’m scared , for sure, because I want to win,” h

A black hole is observed by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope twisting a star into a “donut.”

Image
Astronomers have watched as a black hole tears a star into a “ donut ” and then eats it. The process is one of the most violent and extreme in the universe: when a star gets too close to a black hole, it tears it up, eating the star but also spewing radiation out. It is known as a “tidal disruption event”. Scientists have watched as that happens, using the Hubble Space Telescope to record the final moments of the star as it was eaten up. Researchers hope to use the observations and other like it to better understand what happens when a star falls into the abyss and is torn apart in such a way. Nasa’s Hubble Space Telescope is unable to see the process as it happens, since the new example is almost 300 million light years away. But they can see the light that is thrown out when it does happen, and examine that light for the clues to what happens to the star. Researchers have seen many such examples of tidal disruption events around black holes. About 100 of them have been do
