Manchester City vs Burnley live stream: match preview
It’s Saturday night’s Vincent Kompany derby as Manchester City host Burnley in an FA Cup quarter-final dripping with story, with a fascinating preview of next season in the mix. The reigning Premier League champions look poised for another trophy-packed season, but the top contenders in the Championship – led by City’s impressive former centre-back Kompany – will love testing themselves against the very best.
Manchester City exuded brilliance in their weekday 7-0 exploitation of RB Leipzig in the Champions League. Erling Haaland hit a brutal five against the German energy drink shillers, but the whole performance was among City’s most complete this season. Pep Guardiola did away with full-backs completely and played John Stones alongside Rodri as a midfield two for three centre-backs. Expect Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden all in the last game before the international break.
Having disposed of Chelsea and Arsenal earlier in the league, City now face a second Championship side after beating Bristol City in the fifth round.
It’s hard to overstate the revolution Vincent Kompany brought to Turf Moor. Relegated from the Premier League last season, Burnley have taken the championship by storm. They lead the division by 13 points and have lost just once in the league since mid-August, a period of 10 wins.
The puffy pragmatism of recent seasons has been transformed under four-time Premier League winners Kompany, whose easy possession play has once again appealed to the Clarets fanbase.
Southampton mercenary Nathan Tella scores top goals from the right, while Josh Cullen – who played under Kompany at Anderlecht – is a midfield metronome who loads the bullets. Since beating Bournemouth in the third round, Burnley have knocked out League One pairing Ipswich and Fleetwood and now face one of the big boys with whom they look certain to share a division with next season.
