Burnley vs Manchester City: City name six subs

 

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has named just six subs for today’s early Premier League meeting with Burnley. 

 

The City boss is also without David Silva and John Stones for the 12.30 kick off at Turf Moor as the Premier League leaders look to open up an 18-point gap at the top of the table. 

 

What’s more, Vincent Kompany has come into the starting XI at Aymeric Laporte’s expense, after the Frenchman made his Premier League debut in the midweek 3-0 win over West Brom. 

 

Burnley will hope to capitalise on key absences in the City ranks as Sean Dyche looks to end a seven-match winless run. 

 

However, the Clarets have lost their last four competitive meetings with Manchester City, but will hope to upset the odds today. 

 

 

Dyche has made two changes to his side that drew 1-1 with Newcastle in midweek, with Aaron Lennon coming in to make his full debut following his arrival from Everton. 

 

Sam Vokes, meanwhile, replaces Ashley Westwood in the starting XI.
