Manchester City vs Burnley

Manchester City goes to 15th-place Burnley on Sunday for Premier League Matchday 36 as the Cityzens fight for the three points they need to get back into first place. City was jumped, once again, by Liverpool on Friday after the Reds crushed Huddersfield 5-0 on Friday. A draw will leave City a point shy of Liverpool, while a win puts them one point ahead. Burnley, meanwhile, isn't safe from relegation, but this team can likely lose all three remaining matches and still be comfortably safe.
