Manchester City are set to play Burnley at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday in the quarter-final of the FA Cup. Manchester City come into this game on the back of a 7-0 win over Marco Rose’ RB Leipzig in the second leg of the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
Five goals from Norwegian superstar Erling Haaland and goals from German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan and Belgian forward Kevin De Bruyne secured the win for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Burnley, on the other hand, beat Hull City 3-1 in the league. A hat-trick from midfielder Nathan Tella sealed the deal for Vincent Kompany’s Burnley. Turkish midfielder Ozan Tufan scored the goal for Hull City.
Manchester City fans will be eagerly awaiting the game against Burnley, as it sees the return of club legend Vincent Kompany, who now manages the Championship side. Sentiments will be kept aside for a while though. Pep Guardiola has won the FA Cup only once, a low number by his lofty standards.
It will be interesting to see whether Erling Haaland features after his five-goal performance against RB Leipzig in the Champions League. Manchester City do not lack attacking talent though.
Burnley, on the other hand, are no longer the long-ball preferring, defence-first side. Kompany has transformed the club, with many of the opinion that Burnley are one of the best sides in the Championship in recent history; they are very close to securing a quick return to the Premier League.

There is no right or wrong way to play the game; but it is impressive how quickly Kompany has completely managed to alter the side’s image. It will be interesting to see how their performance translate onto the Premier League stage.
This match will start from 11:15 pm
This match will take place on 18 March 2023
Both teams will enter the match with all the selected players.
Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Laporte, Ake; De Bruyne, Phillips, Bernardo; Mahrez, Alvarez, Foden
Peacock-Farrell; Roberts, Ekdal, Beyer, Maatsen; Cork, Cullen; Zaroury, Gudmundsson, Tella; Barnes
We say: Manchester City 2-0 Burnley
An entertaining contest between two in-form teams could be on the cards at the Etihad Stadium and Kompany’s side will fancy their chances of causing an upset, especially if Man City opt to rest a number of their star players.
However, the Citizens boast the strength in depth that should help them overcome a spirited Clarets outfit and secure a semi-final spot at Wembley.
