Cole Palmer starting tonight, good information.

Although we are barely a fortnight into the new campaign, City are amid an injury crisis and are without many first-team stars. Strikers Sergio Agüero and Gabriel Jesus are expected to be missing for at least a few weeks, Ilkay Gundogan will not feature against Burnley due to recently testing positive for COVID-19, whilst John Stones and Joao Cancelo is again unavailable due to minor injuries. One slight positive was the return of Bernardo Silva to training, although it remains to be seen whether he will play any part in the midweek affair.

Our opponents Burnley are also enduring somewhat of an injury crisis themselves and are without James Tarkowski, Jay Rodriguez, Ashley Barnes, Robbie Brady, Jack Cork, Johann Berg Gudmundsson and captain Ben Mee. Burnley’s long list of absentees means that both clubs are likely to field weaker sides than usual given each team’s more important Saturday fixtures

both teams will be keeping first team squads away form this i assume? although Burnley's is a bit thin i believe. Could be a load of youth on both sides, anything could happen!!

 

[Neville Kneville]

Are Burnley's reserves also a bunch of vicious, bus parking, troglodytes ?

 

[Akpowell]

We should beat them with that list of injuries they've got

 

[stonerblue]

We should beat them with that list of injuries they've got

all their best players out.

You mean this aggression? Should’ve been red after 3-4 minutes ... gave only a yellow and VAR agreed ... I switched channels after that ...

Yeah, I agree.

I think we will line up similar to the Bourmouth game with experience on the bench.

Hoping to see Laporte and Bernardo back, expecting to see Harwood Bellis, Doyle, Delap and Palmer.

Might be best to go straight to penaltys

Tarkowski is fit according to the Beeb.
