Man City v Burnley Betting Tips: Will Kevin De Bruyne deliver another masterclass?

Kevin De Bruyne wasn’t quite at his sharpest last week, but he was still far too good for the Gunners. He’s now got 16 assists in the top-flight this season, with Thierry Henry’s record of 20 well within reach. The Belgium international is 19/20 to register another assist here.

He’s almost certain to start again, but there could be changes elsewhere as Guardiola looks to give everyone minutes. Sergio Aguero, Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Rodrigo and Joao Cancelo could all come in.

One player who is unlikely to start though, is Leroy Sane. He could still be a useful option from the bench. But it’s hard to see the City boss making him a key part of the side now, given his desire to leave.

Whoever starts, City will be confident of continuing their good record against Burnley, though the Clarets shouldn’t be underestimated.

Prior to the enforced break, they’d gone unbeaten in seven league games. That run included wins over Leicester City and Manchester United, as well as a draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

The visitors also have an outside chance of securing a Europa League shot. A surprise win tonight would put them firmly in contention.

If they can ruffle a few feathers and disrupt City’s rhythm, they could cause problems for the home side. The little danger Arsenal caused came from direct passes in between the two centre-backs – expect Burnley to see if there’s a chink in the armour there.
