The defending champions will try to kick off their title defense with a bang after being slammed by Leicester last Sunday.

What was Burnley and Manchester City's performance in the 2019-20 League Cup?

Burnley had a swift appearance in last year's League Cup, as they were defeated by Sunderland with a 3-1 score. The Clarets were not able to hold on to an early lead, which would be cancelled by the Black Cats with goals by Will Grigg, Tom Flanagan and George Dobson.

Manchester City's League Cup campaign ended on a high note, as they claimed the title for the third time in a row and for the fourth time in the past five years. Pep Guardiola's men won the title by defeating a feisty Aston Villa side with a 2-1 win in the title match.

What is Burnley and Manchester City's form ahead of this game?

Burnley will enter this game with only one win in their last five games. Out of those, the Clarets have drawn two and lost two more, including their most recent outing against Southampton (1-0). The team's most recent win came on September 23, when they defeated Millwall in the third round of the League Cup.

Manchester City will make it to this KO tie with two wins out of their three games this season, but their most recent match saw them make history for all the wrong reasons, as Leicester City handed them a 5-2 loss, which represents the highest number of goals conceded for Guardiola's men in the English top-flight.
