Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Burnley

Manchester City will be looking to bounce back from their chastening home defeat to Leicester City when they face Burnley in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.

Pep Guardiola makes the trip to Turf Moor having seen one of his teams ship five goals for the first time in his managerial career as the Foxes dealt an early blow to Man City's title ambitions at the Etihad Stadium.

However, they have an imperious record in this competition in recent years, lifting the trophy in each of the last three seasons and five times in the last seven.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
