Manchester City host Burnley on Saturday, looking for a win to stay in touch with early leaders Liverpool.
It’s been a mixed start for Pep Guardiola's side, who are eight points behind the champions already after being pegged back late on against Arsenal on Saturday. But with Liverpool facing a tough-looking trip to unbeaten Crystal Palace, three points against the Clarets could see City close the gap.
Scott Parker’s side have made a reasonable start to life back in the Premier League, picking up a win and a draw in their five games so far. And they showed they can mix it with the top sides after almost holding Liverpool to a draw at Turf Moor earlier this month, only to be denied a point by a late Mohamed Salah penalty.
Here’s everything you need to know about watching the game, which won’t be broadcast live in the UK…
