Manchester City XI vs Burnley: Confirmed starting lineup, team news and injury latest for Premier League today

Ederson and John Stones are fit to feature in Manchester City’s squad for the game against Burnley today.

The Premier League leaders make the short trip to Turf Moor shortly after Liverpool’s game against Watford, meaning a win will likely be the only result to maintain the defending champions’ advantage at the top.

American goalkeeper Zack Steffen was primed to step in for Ederson, after the Brazilian withdrew from international duty last week due to a reported bout of gastroenteritis. But he is back in to start.

Stones was another worry for City after he pulled out of England action, having felt a problem during the warm-up for the friendly with Switzerland. The issue subsequently kept the defender out of the win over Ivory Coast and he is on the bench today.

Ruben Dias (hamstring) misses the clash while Cole Palmer is yet to return from a foot injury, although the young midfielder is said to be back in training.

Raheem Sterling started the FA Cup win over Southampton last time out and the winger’s form for club and country earns him a first Premier League start in three games from Pep Guardiola.

Man City XI: Ederson; Walker, Laporte, Ake, Cancelo; Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan; Sterling, Foden, Grealish.

Subs: Steffen, Stones, Jesus, Zinchenko, Bernardo, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Egan-Riley, Mbete.
