3pm Saturday

Burnley have taken seven points from three games but they may be heading for a heavy defeat Manchester City, where they are huge outsiders.

Before the international break Burnley hung on for a 1-1 draw at home to Huddersfield, losing the shot count 19 to six.

They have been let off the hook on a few occasions this season but Manchester City's high-class attack should punish them.

Raheem Sterling will be feeling confident after his brace for England and looks a likely candidate to score first.

Recommendation
R Sterling first scorer

1pt 9-2 general
