Over at Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace have scored in the ninth minute to go in front against Liverpool. The Reds have conceded the lead for the first time in a Premier League game this season.
Man City have the lead in the 12th minute! And it's via an own goal, as Phil Foden's close-range shot takes a deflection off Burnley defender Maxime Esteve. Jeremy Doku had set up the move, and Guardiola's men seize control after an authoritative start.
We are off at Etihad Stadium. Man City kicking from left to right and Burnley from right to left in the first half. The hosts' Manchester rivals United have lost 1-3 to Brentford minutes back and the crowd is rejoicing in their defeat with chants around the under-fire Ruben Amorim.
Burnley are winless in their last 19 league visits to City (D6 L13), since a 5-2 win in March 1963. The Clarets have also lost each of their last seven Premier League games at the Etihad, and Parker will need a minor miracle to end that drab streak this time round.
City have also won each of their last 13 meetings with Burnley in all competitions by a ridiculous aggregate score of 46-2.
