Premier League 2025-2026: Manchester City-Burnley, the likely lineups
Manchester City takes the field at 4 p.m. against Burnley for the match valid for the sixth day of the Premier League.
Guardiola’s team after a shock start in the league got back on track by winning the derby with United and drawing away with Arsenal. But top-ranked Liverpool is already 7 points ahead and the Citizens cannot afford any missteps at home against Burnley, currently 16th and fresh off a home draw with Nottingham.
Foden, Haaland and Doku is the attacking trident devised by Guardiola, who has midfield relying instead on Bernardo Silva, Rodri and Reijnders. The full-backs are Nunes and O’Reilly. Absent are the injured Marmoush and Cherki. In goal is Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The guests seek the feat by relying on Tchaouna, Foster, Anthony in attack. Hartman and Walker will act on the flanks, in the median Ugochukwu, Cullen, Laurent.
