Overview
- Manchester City host Burnley at the Etihad on Saturday, September 27, with kickoff at 15:00 UK time.
- The match will not be shown live in the UK due to the 3pm blackout, and global TV listings are available via the club’s livesoccertv.com feed.
- City enter on a four-game unbeaten run with just one goal conceded in that span, following a 2-0 Carabao Cup win at Huddersfield featuring extensive academy involvement.
- Erling Haaland missed the midweek tie due to a back issue and is reported as a doubt, while several City players remain sidelined through injury.
- Burnley have four points from five league games and have recently used a 5-4-1 with Kyle Walker at wing-back, as the former City captain returns to the Etihad; the club lists Craig Pawson as referee with Michael Oliver as VAR.
