It's a matchup of teams on opposite ends of the table when Burnley hosts Manchester City in an English Premier League match on Saturday at Turf Moor. Burnley (3-12-12) is hoping it doesn't see its six-year run in the top flight end in a couple of months. It sits 19th in the 20-team table but has two games in hand on relegation rivals Norwich City and Watford. Man City (22-4-3) sits atop the table, but it is just one point ahead of Liverpool, which faces 18th-place Watford earlier Saturday. 

Kickoff is set for 10 a.m. ET in Burnley, England. The latest Burnley vs. Manchester City odds from Caesars Sportsbook list City as the -440 favorite (risk $440 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line, with Burnley the +1300 underdog.

Why you should back Manchester City

The Cityzens will try to get this one decided quickly so it can rest some key players for much tougher upcoming matches. Manager Pep Guardiola has the depth to rest players, but he should go with his preferred 11 and isn't going to risk it with the title hanging in the balance. That means Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling, who both have 10 goals, will be the thrust of the attack, with Phil Foden (seven goals) and Bernardo Silva (seven) making plays behind them. Star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne (seven goals, three assists) will continue to run the show. 

City is plus-50 in goal differential, with 68 scored and just 18 conceded, while the Clarets have scored 22 and allowed 38 in their 27 games. Burnley might not even touch the ball, as City ranks first in possession (68.2 percent) and the Clarets are last (38.2). City also is second in the EPL in shots (529) and shots on target (185), while Burnley is last (273 and 77). 

Why you should back Burnley

The Clarets could catch City not taking them seriously, or the Cityzens could choose to rest players from the start. Burnley has lost three in a row, but one was to league power Chelsea and another was to a Leicester squad that can be dangerous. The setback to Brentford can't be excused, but the Clarets went 2-4-1 before the slide, with the only loss to league title contender Liverpool. They have been marginally better at Turf Moor, getting two of their three wins there and allowing six fewer goals. Burnley has taken 12 points from its 13 home games, compared to nine in 14 road matches. 

Burnley has had three weeks to refocus and recover, and while it gives up a ton of shots, it is able to force a lot off target. The Clarets have allowed the fourth-most shots in the league at 436, but only 118 have been on net. That is the ninth-fewest, and the 27.1 percent on target is the lowest in the Premier League.
