Manchester City
City are unlikely to be able to call upon Brazilian duo Ederson and Gabriel Jesus due to their late returns from international duty, with Zack Steffen set to deputise in goal for the former, while Ferran Torres is out with a broken foot.
Jesus's absence opens up a spot for Riyad Mahrez to feature on the right, and it remains to be seen if Ilkay Gundogan and Oleksandr Zinchenko will be given the green light to line up here.
Phil Foden followed up a man-of-the-match performance against Andorra with an ineffective display against Hungary, but the starlet is in no danger of losing his place here after his well-taken Anfield goal.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Steffen; Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo; De Bruyne, Rodri, Foden; Mahrez, Silva, Grealish
Burnley
Burnley forward Matej Vydra lasted just 35 minutes against Norwich but featured for the Czech Republic over the international break, while Dyche will also hope to have Maxwel Cornet back for the trip to Manchester and Ben Mee has tested positive for coronavirus.
Johann Berg Gudmundsson should also be fine despite withdrawing from the Iceland squad, which makes Dale Stephens the Clarets' only confirmed absentee at the time of writing, but Charlie Taylor is also doubtful.
Dyche is well-covered in the event of Mee's possible absence after Nathan Collins played the full 90 and helped his side to a clean sheet against Norwich, while Matthew Lowton will hope to hold his spot at right-back over Connor Roberts for now.
Burnley possible starting lineup:
Pope; Lowton, Collins, Tarkowski, Taylor; Cornet, Brownhill, Westwood, McNeil; Wood, Vydra
Prediction: Manchester City 3-0 Burnley
