Burnley v Man City: Key stats and talking points

Manchester City visit Turf Moor on Wednesday seeking a win that would take them to the top of the Premier League table - a result that would also relegate Burnley.

The omens are not good. Burnley have won just one of their 19 Premier League games against City and have lost the past 11, which is their longest-ever losing league run against another team.

Scott Parker's side are also winless in their past 12 home Premier League matches, the club's second-worst run without winning at Turf Moor in their league history.

And they come into this match on the back of a 4-1 capitulation at fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest. Head coach Parker said the boos from Burnley supporters at the City Ground were justified, admitting that they "saw a team just fall away".

That was Burnley's second-heaviest defeat of the season - topped only by the 5-1 thumping by City at Etihad Stadium in September. It could be another long 90 minutes for Clarets fans.

Before City visited West Ham on 14 March, Pep Guardiola said his side's title hopes would be over if they dropped points. When they did just that in a 1-1 draw, it meant City were nine points adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal, with one game in hand.
