Burnley vs Man City
Burnley look set to be relegated in the coming weeks and spurned a lead at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, eventually losing 4-1 at the City Ground. Scott Parker’s side are 12 points off safety with five games remaining.
As for City, their massive 2-1 win over title rivals Arsenal puts them three points behind the table-topping Gunners. Yet just one goal behind on goal-difference – and with more goals scored – any victory on Wednesday will take them to the top of the table.
Pep Guardiola’s side thrashed Burnley 5-1 at the Etihad Stadium back in September, with Erling Haaland scoring twice. The Norwegian is currently the Premier League’s top scorer with 23 goals this season and is on a high after his match-winner against Arsenal on Sunday.
