Manchester City
Man City have no injury or suspension concerns for Saturday's contest, but Guardiola will likely rotate his starting lineup following Tuesday's win over Leipzig.
Stefan Ortega has been the Citizens' cup goalkeeper throughout this season and is expected to replace first-choice shot-stopper Ederson between the sticks, while Kyle Walker, Rico Lewis, Aymeric Laporte and Sergio Gomez will all be pushing for starts in defence.
Kalvin Phillips may be recalled to the first XI should Guardiola decide to rest ever-present lynchpin Rodri, while Bernardo Silva could move back into centre-midfield after beginning on the right flank against Leipzig.
Despite his five-star showing in midweek, Haaland could be replaced up front by Julian Alvarez – who penned a one-year contract extension earlier this week – while Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Cole Palmer will all be hoping to force their way back into the starting lineup.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Laporte, Ake; De Bruyne, Phillips, Bernardo; Mahrez, Alvarez, Foden
Burnley
As for Burnley, Man City loanee Taylor Harwood-Bellis is ineligible to face his parent club, although the defender is suffering with a foot injury anyway along with Josh Brownhill, while Darko Churlinov is set to miss out through illness.
Manuel Benson (foot) and Jay Rodriguez (knock) are both closing in on a return from injury, but Saturday's game may come too soon for the pair.
Goalkeeper Arijanet Muric – who made five senior appearances for Man City before joining Burnley last summer – could lose his place in the first XI to Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who has started every FA Cup game for the Clarets this season, while Jack Cork and Josh Cullen are set to continue in centre-midfield.
Ashley Barnes scored his last FA Cup goal against Man City as well as Burnley's last away goal at the Etihad in a 4-1 third-round defeat in 2017-18, and the 33-year-old is expected to lead the line on Saturday, with support provided in attack by Tella and Anass Zaroury.
Burnley possible starting lineup:
Peacock-Farrell; Roberts, Ekdal, Beyer, Maatsen; Cork, Cullen; Zaroury, Gudmundsson, Tella; Barnes
Prediction: Manchester City 2-0 Burnley
