Burnley vs Manchester City
Manchester City have a golden opportunity to put themselves back atop the Premier League table on Saturday, at least for a few hours. City’s are surprisingly in better form on the road than at home, and perhaps even more surprisingly: Yaya Toure is back in the picture. Will Pep Guardiola start him again? We’ll see. Burnley are decent at home, with 13 of their 14 points coming at Turf Moor, but the Citizens will likely make quick work of the Clarets. A goal for Burnley isn’t the worst consolation, though.
Prediction: Burnley 1-3 Manchester City
LIVERPOOL VS SUNDERLAND
Here’s a bad recipe if you’re a Sunderland fan: The Black Cats have a penchant for conceding early, and Liverpool love to score. Coming off of a 0-0 draw against Southampton, the Reds will surely be eager to prove they’re still one of the best offenses in the league. Sunderland will be confident with consecutive wins under their belt, but a trip to Anfield would make any team leery. Liverpool can’t afford to drop points in a tight title race, especially against Sunderland. They’ll be hungry to get back in the win column, and they will.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Sunderland
