Man City vs Burnley team news
Man City
Manchester City's trip to St James' Park proved fruitful in more than one way. Pep Guardiola's side secured all three points and Kevin De Bruyne showed he is still at the top of his game despite a long injury layoff. Bernardo Silva opened the scoring for City who lost Ederson early on to injury. Newcastle scored twice to lead at the interval but substitute Kevin De Bruyne equalised and then set up Oscar Bobb to score a dramatic late winner.
Manuel Akanji and Erling Haaland are both doubts for Wednesday's match but are very close to making their comebacks from injury.
Predicted Lineup: Ederson (GK), Walker, Aké, Dias, Gvardiol, Kovačić, Silva, Rodri, Foden, Doku & Álvarez
Burnley
Burnley took the lead at home to Luton in the first half through Zeki Amdouni but failed to make the most of the rest of their chances and ended up having to settle for a point when the Hatters equalised with virtually the last kick of the game.
Nathan Redmond, Luca Koleosho, Charlie Taylor, and Jordan Beyer have been ruled out of the trip to the Etihad due to injury, while Sander Berge, Aaron Ramsey and Hannes Delcroix are also doubtful.
Predicted Lineup: Trafford (GK), O'Shea, Ekdal, Vitinho, Al Dakhil, Guðmundsson, Brownhill, Cullen, Foster, Amdouni & Odobert

Player to Watch: Julian Alvarez
Julian Alvarez probably hasn't scored as many Premier League goals as he would like but the Man City forward is a real team player and someone Pep Guardiola has come to rely upon week in, week out.
We're expecting Alvarez to start against Burnley, though Erling Haaland is close to making his return from injury. The Argentine World Cup winner has netted six goals in the Premier League this season and is only three off equaling his tally from the 2022/23 campaign.
