Manchester City will hope to return to winning ways in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon when they take on Burnley in their first game back since the international break.

Pep Guardiola's side rescued a point in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Liverpool before the break, with Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne netting while Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah struck for the hosts.

The reigning champions now find themselves third in the rankings after seven matches, but Guardiola is set to be one of many coaches impacted by the unforgiving schedule.

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