Have to be honest, I don't watch a lot of Burnley. Who's missing for them?

Barnes, Wood, Brownhill, Taylor and Brady all out, but they have pace up front with Rodriquez and Vydra

Would have liked Torres over mahrez to be honest but apart from foden not being there that is a top team tonight! Hope we twat these pricks

Why oh why is Sterling captain? Nothing to do with his team performances but as long as I’ve got a hole in my backside he will never be a captain. What is it that Pep sees in him? Should without doubt be Dias.

Good shout but maybe Pep is protecting him slightly - but I don’t think it will be long in coming. He’s already acting like one

From the Guardian....

Preamble​

Manchester City’s last seven results against Burnley: 5-0, 3-0, 5-0, 4-1, 1-0, 5-0, 5-0. Given that Manchester United threw the title gauntlet down in some style last night, battering nine goals past Southampton, the Clarets can be forgiven for being wary ahead of this one, with City presumably preparing some sort of response.

For fuck sake!

yeah 3 points . dickheads.

I think the back line is a trial for Liverpool game.

First choice left back, brownhill and both their first choice strikers.

Cheers.

Really really don’t like that front 3

Me neither, rather see Foden and Ferran up front, but I prefer to save them for Liverpool. Sterling and Jesus need more game time to find form. They are both fkn awful at the moment.

Laporte left back. Love that line up!

 

[Mayor West]

They've got one of the best keepers in the league, hope he doesnt have a blinder
