Manchester City was impressive in the way they dispatched Arsenal on Wednesday night, and they are heavily favored to win again on the weekend. If you’re betting on this match, like you would at w88, you see the odds looking like this: typically, a Manchester City would be win backed at 1/7, a Burnley FC victory priced at 18/1 with a draw to be had at 13 /2. The reigning champions have certainly shaken off the rust from the three month layoff as they look to make it two from two victories in project restart.
They’ll welcome Burnley FC, a mid-table side, in on Sunday night. Let’s take a look at who Pep Guardiola may select in his first team for this clash, having pretty much all his options available.
We decided to include Leroy Sane, who will be leaving the club either this summer or next, according to Pep Guardiola.

City show no signs of easing up on any opponent. Now at full fitness, they are a high octane machine again and you can expect plenty of lopsided scores in their matches from here until the end of the season.
