Man City's next six Premier League fixtures compared to Liverpool and Chelsea

Manchester City are heading back into Premier League action this weekend on the back of a fine performance against Sporting CP in the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola's men ran riot in Lisbon, cruising to a 5-0 victory thanks to goals from Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling and a Bernardo Silva double.

They currently sit nine points clear of second-placed Liverpool, though Jurgen Klopp's men do hold a game in hand over the reigning champions.

Take a look below at City's next six fixtures in the league.

Saturday, February 19 - Tottenham Hotspur (H)

City return to action against Spurs at the weekend in the teatime kick-off.

Antonio Conte's men have struggled in the Premier League in recent weeks as they battle for a place in the top four.

Having lost to Wolves, Tottenham will be hoping to avoid another defeat at the Etihad Stadium.

Saturday, February 26 - Everton (A)

The Merseyside club have had a poor season by their standards and are in real danger of slipping into a relegation battle.

But Frank Lampard has recently taken over at Goodison and a 3-0 victory over Leeds United showed their intent.

It could be a much trickier trip than it was a few weeks ago.

Sunday, March 6 - Manchester United (H)

Following some midweek FA Cup action, it is the small matter of the Manchester derby next.

Ralf Rangnick's men have been disappointing in recent weeks but can manage to perform for at least 45 minutes in any given match.

Guardiola will be hoping to secure bragging rights for his team's supporters.

Monday, March 14 - Crystal Palace (A)

After City have played the second leg of their Champions League tie with Sporting, they face a Monday night trip to Selhurst Park.

Palace should have little to play for come this fixture with Patrick Vieira's side comfortably in mid-table.

Guardiola will be wary that a team with nothing to lose may be looking to put on a show for their home fans.

Saturday, March 19 - Brighton (H)

The Seagulls played well in defeat at Old Trafford on Tuesday night and showed that they are no pushovers.

Guardiola's side will have to be at their best to come out on top.

Saturday, April 2 - Burnley (A)

Sean Dyche's side have been woeful this season, struggling to pick up results and finding themselves involved in a relegation dogfight.

By the time these two meet, City could have one hand on the title while Burnley could have one foot in the Championship.

Turf Moor is always a tricky place to go and so the Clarets should not be underestimated.
