City have drawn their last three home games in the Premier League and the Spaniard is desperate for them to find their shooting boots tomorrow.

But with Sergio Aguero only rated as 50/50, Dyche's side will be hoping to emulate Middlesbrough, Southampton and Everton and take points off City.

Following the 4-0 thrashing at the hands of West Brom on Monday, Burnley will be desperate to prove that result was a one-off.

The City players looked relaxed - albeit cold - as they went through their drills, fresh from a win over Crystal Palace last week.

With Chelsea motoring at the top of the table, if Guardiola's side harbour title ambitions they must be winning games such as this.

Pablo Zabaleta is also a doubt, whilst Fabian Delph and Vincent Kompany are long-term absentees.

For Burnley, they have a full squad to choose from, with no injuries or suspensions.
