Three days after its success against the leader, Arsenal, Manchester City feels itself growing wings. A victory on Burnley’s pitch would allow Pep Guardiola’s men to return to a tie with the Gunners, having played the same number of matches.
At what time and on which channel to watch Burnley – Manchester City
The match between the leader and the penultimate of the Premier League will be broadcast on Canal + Foot, Wednesday April 22, 2026, live for subscribers.
The title race is relaunched
After this match at Burnley, there will only be five matches remaining for the Cityzens (against Everton, Brentford, Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, in a late match). At the same time, Arsenal will face Newcastle, West Ham, Fulham, Burnley and Crystal Palace. Suffice to say that the battle for the title promises to be tight over the coming weeks. The Gunners seem to be suffering the blow recently and have suffered 4 defeats in the last 6 meetings, in all competitions. Conversely, the Sky Blues are on cloud nine, undefeated in the league since the derby against Manchester City on January 17 (2-1), with 7 wins and 3 draws to boot.
Burnley, complicated maintenance operation
With 13 points behind the first non-relegation team (West Ham) and 15 points at stake over the last five days, Burnley’s mission, which must face Manchester City and Arsenal in particular, looks almost impossible.
His last victory in the Premier League dates back to February 11. Since then, the club has had a string of 6 defeats and 2 draws in all competitions. The Manchester City reception is an opportunity to show that he deserves to be in the elite.
The likely Burnley – Manchester City squads
- Burnley : Dubravka, Hartman, Walker, Ekdal, Esteve, Luis, Ward-Prowse, Anthony, Ugochukwu, Edwards, Flemming.
- Manchester City : Donnarumma, Nunes, O’Reilly, Guehi, Khusanov, Rodri, Silva, Cherki, Doku, Semenyo, Haaland.
