An absorbing title race between two Premier League titans – this is what football is about.

City meanwhile are duking it out with Liverpool for the title as the season enters its final stretch. City will be without Ruben Dias but John Stones is fit despite pulling out of England's squad for their recent friendly double header. It means Kevin Long is in line for a first appearance of the season at centre back.

Ederson and John Stones are fit to feature in Manchester City's squad for the game against Burnley today.

Raheem Sterling started the FA Cup win over Southampton last time out and the winger’s form for club and country earns him a first Premier League start in three games from Pep Guardiola. But he is back in to start. The Premier League leaders make the short trip to Turf Moor shortly after Liverpool’s game against Watford, meaning a win will likely be the only result to maintain the defending champions’ advantage at the top.

Nathan Ake will partner Aymeric Laporte at the heart of the City defence this afternoon as we take on Burnley at Turf Moor.

City have the best away record in the top flight, winning 11 of their 15 away games (D3, L1). Manchester City have lost just one of their last 19 Premier League matches (W16, D2). That's a midfield three with steel and guile in abundance.

Manchester City take on Burnley at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday, looking to react to Liverpool's result against Watford.

Going into the weekend just a point ahead of Liverpool, City kicked-off at Burnley in second place after Jurgen Klopp's side beat Watford in the lunchtime game. With Liverpool visiting the Etihad next week, City know the importance of a win to ensure they go into that clash top of the Premier League table. With the next four games throwing up double-headers against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, this is the final chance for players to impress Guardiola before a season-defining fortnight in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.

Manchester City face Burnley in the Premier League at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.

"The away team will undoubtedly see a lot of the ball and have close to 75 per cent possession, but will they manage to score goals? "Burnley, on the other hand, will look to keep it tight and take their chances from set-pieces. But considering City are up against a Burnley side who have won just three times in the league all season, they will fancy their chances of reclaiming top spot if Liverpool prove triumphant earlier in the day. I do think they'll win though." The stalemate with Patrick Vieira's side opened the door for Liverpool to move within a point of them in the table and they did just that, beating Arsenal 2-0 48 hours later. That is because Liverpool kick-off at 12:30pm on Saturday and a win against Watford would see them move above Pep Guardiola's side.

Man City defender Kyle Walker has praised Liverpool ahead of next week's Premier League showdown at Anfield.

"Yeah, I feel it was a couple of seasons ago now where we had to go and win every game to pip them to the title. "Listen, as you said, I don't think that we've done that much wrong to concede as many points as we have done. That's what title winning teams do, they grind out results and go and get the points that are needed on the day." Five days later, Liverpool travel to Manchester on Sunday afternoon to face City which could ultimately decide where the Premier League title ends up at the end of the season. "Obviously. Liverpool are a great team and we have to be on our A game for this because they've caused us some problems in the recent years but I think we've been here before. It's better to be where we are at the top then obviously where they are in second but anything can change in football, especially the Premier League. It's a crazy, crazy game."

In what is scheduled to be the Reds' penultimate game of the season, they take the long trip down to the south coast to take on Southampton in what is always a tricky away day. A game that might decide where the Premier League title ends up come to the end of the season. Liverpool face a hugely important week coming up as they travel to Portugal to take on Benfica in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final before making the shorter journey to the Etihad to do battle with City in a match that could decide the title.

The midfielder wrapped up a comfortable three points for Manchester City at Turf Moor as they reclaimed the top spot from Liverpool.

The second leg against Atletico follows a few days later as the Blues look to continue their quest for a first European crown. They begin with the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, before hosting Liverpool at the Etihad in what is being billed as a potential title decider. Having seen their nearest rivals Liverpool overtake them momentarily following their 2-0 win over Watford, City knew they had to come up with a response.

The former Manchester United defender thinks City will retain their title.

However, former Manchester United captain turned BT Sport pundit Ferdinand thinks City hold one advantage over their rivals that could see them come out on top. He said: "I think momentum is always key, especially at the turn of the year. When pressed to name his favourite for the title, Ferdinand added: "Against anyone else, they (Liverpool) are the favourites, but because Manchester City have that experience, because they have been here time and time again and with Pep Guardiola, they are the favourites for me, but only just."

And even allowing for the winning streaks that both clubs subsequently produced it was a meeting between them at the Etihad in January which went a long way towards City winning the race. But there was no iceberg in east Lancashire - it was difficult to escape the conclusion at the final whistle that Clarets’ chief Dyche had more of an eye on this Wednesday’s date of destiny against Everton. You can bet your bottom dollar there won’t be a repeat showing of that against the Toffees. As for City, this was the perfect opportunity to get back into the old routine following a two-week international break. City did not drop one single point between the end of January and the end of the season. The game of one-upmanship lasted until the final day of the season. Perhaps it should come as no surprise that there was no repeat of the glut of chances that went begging at Crystal Palace in a frustrating goalless draw three weeks ago.
