Unless I have missed something, there are not many comments from Burnley fans for the game tomorrow. In fact, this is your lot. I heard interview with Dyche this morning (granted it was on Talkshite), basically saying that he thought there was nothing wrong with the standard of tackling in the PL, and that referees, mainly get it right. I have no doubt in my mind that we can beat Burnley tomorrow, but I am terrified about who we may lose to a thuggish tackle. Apart from that, 15 points and life is good.

COME ON CITY!!!


Referee: Martin Atkinson
Assistant Refs: Peter Kirkup and Lee Betts
Fourth Official: Jonathan Moss

Team Selection

Pope
Lowton Tarks Mee Taylor
Cork Westwood
Lennon JBG Nkoudou
Vokes

And the rest...

God help us!

We are on the tele,it could be very embarrassing .. Oo er

Everyone expects City to win so anything else is a bonus for us so I would like to see us go for a win from the off. But that isn't SD's style so think he'll be more cautious.

Match Day referee Atkinson has officiated 20 games this season showing 67 yellow cards and four reds

After the game on Wednesday SD talked about connections and his current team hardly playing together. So IMO he will give Wednesdays team another chance. A bit boring but that’s what we are TBH. That’s not a criticism BTW it’s just how we operate.

Tarky not fit for Saturday and defour out for rest of season.

No walk over. Professional performance and hopefully David is fit.

As far as tackles go, these opposition players must be looking at this coverage and thinking they don't want to be the ones being highlighted for shocking challenges. Surely!

Merlin is out tomorrow according to the Spanish journalist who has been spot on recently. He has tweeted that this eve. Pep tells us nothing in the pressers so we don't know when he will be back.

Wow. Could they be any less bothered? Sounds like that was a thread between two old boys who were probably in the same boozer at opposite ends, both nursing halves of mild

Cheers, as always!

Found these:

"Some hope if we can tie Aguero up.

City have dropped points in their last two away games, having won their previous 10 this season...

BUT...

Sergio Aguero has scored in each of his last four appearances against Burnley in all competitions, netting six goals in total."

"That's not very fcuking reassuring..."

"Let’s not pretend Citeh are all a team of saints coz they ain’t. Fabulously talented yes but they have a dark side."

"If Stones plays we will probably get at least 1"
