Fixture: Manchester City vs Burnley
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Manchester City have officially named their starting line-up and substitutes to take on Burnley at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon.

Citizens boss Pep Guardiola will be looking for his side to instantly bounce back from having lost away at Liverpool on Saturday, something which also saw Manchester City drop out of the Premier League's top four; they are behind Tottenham Hotspur on goal difference.




To get the better of the Clarets on home turf, Guardiola picks a four-man backline, with Nicolas Otamendi and Aleksandar Kolarov operating as the two centre-backs, while Yaya Toure and Fernandinho will aim to control midfield for the hosts. Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Jesus Navas are all also selected.

From the bench, Guardiola can bring on Sergio Aguero if he needs to chase goals at any point, while Nolito is a further attacking option. John Stones is also amongst the substitutes.
