Burnley vs Man City: How to watch, live stream details, kick-off time and supercomputer prediction
Burnley host Manchester City in a huge midweek Premier League clash that could see Pep Guardiola’s side move to the top of the table with five games left to play.
City moved within three points of league leaders Arsenal on Sunday with a 2-1 win against Mikel Arteta’s side at the Etihad Stadium.
They can overtake the Gunners by winning their game in hand against Burnley this week, which would see them sit top for the first time since August.
Scott Parker’s side are close to being officially relegated from the Premier League alongside Wolves, with their last league victory on home turf coming back in October against Leeds.
There has rarely been a bigger Man City match in the last few seasons, and Football Insider have provided all the details for fans who wish to watch the clash.

What are Opta’s predictions for the game and the title race?
Rodri scored on City’s last visit to Turf Moor, but Guardiola has confirmed that he will not be available for Thursday’s clash due to fitness concerns, with Ruben Dias still sidelined too.
Sources have told Football Insider that Guardiola wants Rodri to sign a new contract due to Bernardo Silva’s impending exit, despite his recent injury struggles.
As expected, Opta are heavily backing the Citizens to come away with a vital three points at Turf Moor, with a 70.3 per cent chance of a win compared to Burnley’s 13.2 per cent.
Despite being predicted to go top after such a result, their supercomputer is still only giving City a 27.96 per cent chance of winning the Premier League as it stands.
Arsenal remain the favourites in their eyes, at least for now, with a 72.04 per cent chance of lifting the trophy come 24 May.
