Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Manchester City and Burnley. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at the Etihad in Manchester and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via the Daily Mail): "We are not aware about records, but we are aware of adding points because it will be a very close fight for the title this year and we want to keep our title."
Burnley manager Sean Dyche (via Sky Sports): "We're not naïve. We know it's got to end up with results, but there has to be a future in our performing. There was last week against Tottenham, there was against Southampton when I thought we were even better."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: The long-term future of Manchester City's Frank Lampard, on loan from New York City FC, remains a question mark. The 36-year-old has been influential in 16 appearances across all competitions, boasting six goals and an assist.
