Manchester City vs Burnley Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 09/27/25

Manchester City will have been desperate for a fast start to the season after faltering in their pursuit of Liverpool last term and the signs of a strong recovery did not look good when they suffered consecutive defeats to Tottenham and Brighton. However, they look to have got back in their groove with a 3-0 win over Manchester United that could easily have been even more comprehensive and then they got their Champions League campaign off to a winning start with a 2-0 win over Serie A winners Napoli. A late Gabriel Martinelli goal meant they had to settle for a draw against Arsenal last week, but things are definitely moving in the right direction, and the Citizens look to be forming the foundations of a strong push, all of which is bad news for Saturday’s visitors Burnley.

The Clarets came up from the Championship on the basis of their strong defensive record and while they came close to earning something in their 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford, this looks to be a much tougher test. Scott Parker’s side were undone by a late penalty against champions Liverpool a fortnight ago, but that was at Turf Moor, where they had already beaten Sunderlan,d and a strong home record will be essential if they are to avoid an immediate return to the second tier. They were given a harsh reintroduction to the top flight when they fell to a 3-0 defeat at Tottenham on the opening weekend and we could see a similar scenario play out at City.

Burnley have managed to score in just 2 of their last 10 meetings with City and after Pep Guardiola’s side did not concede against either United or Napoli, having been boosted by signing arguably the world’s best goalkeeper in Gianluigi Donnarunna, the home side can win again without conceding.
