Manchester City and Burnley are two football clubs with vastly different histories, but both have made a significant impact on English football. On a Saturday evening, they face off each other in the FA Cup quarterfinals. Manchester City have enjoyed a rich and storied history. In recent years, they have become one of the most dominant teams in the Premier League, winning multiple league titles and establishing themselves as a formidable force in European football. Burnley, on the other hand, have a much more modest history. They have spent much of their time in the lower divisions of English football. However, they have still managed to achieve some notable successes, including two FA Cup victories.
Despite the differences in their histories, the two clubs have developed a healthy rivalry over the years. Their first meeting dates back to 1897, and since then, they have faced each other numerous times in various competitions. While Manchester City have historically had the upper hand, Burnley have managed to cause a few upsets along the way. So, it will be a match to look out for at the weekend between both. He has been in excellent form this season, netting 39 goals in the whole season for City – breaking almost a century-old record, and by recording his first 5-goal haul of the career, he once again showed his talent. Being a brute force of nature, he will undoubtedly torture Burnley’s defence and will be counting on his colleagues Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez to provide him with the necessary assistance.
The Norwegian will be looking forward to scoring more goals to reach a tally of 50 goals for the season as soon as possible. Benson is Kompany’s most dependable performer and has seven goals for Burnley. He causes trouble inside the box and has amazing senses. This will be his most significant contest because he also has an impact when he is not in control. He has already scored 7 goals and provided 4 assists in the EPL and is looking forward to performing exactly the same against the Cityzens. We welcome Vincent Kompany’s side to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday 18 March, with kick-off scheduled for 17:45 (UK).
