We're under way at the Etihad Stadium.
Hello and welcome to the live commentary of the FA Cup quarter-final clash between Manchester City and Burnley at the Etihad Stadium.
For all of City's dominance since Pep Guardiola's arrival in 2016, they've only won the FA Cup once in 2019 and the Spaniard will be keen for his side to press on in pursuit of the trophy against Burnley. City are fresh off a 7-0 hammering of RB Leipzig in the Champions League where Erling Haaland scored an incredible five goals on the night. Guardiola will be looking for the same level of clinical edge against the Championship leaders.
MANCHESTER CITY (3-2-4-1): Stefan Ortega; Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte; Rico Lewis, Rodri; Riyad Mahrez, Kevin De Bruyne, Julian Alvarez, Phil Foden; Erling Haaland.
MANCHESTER CITY SUBS: Kalvin Phillips, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Ilkay Gundogan, Jack Grealish, Sergi Gomez, Manuel Akanji, Ederson, Cole Palmer.
BURNLEY (4-2-3-1): Bailey Peacock-Farrell; Connor Roberts, Ameen Al Dakhil, Jordan Beyer, Ian Maatsen; Johann Gudmundsson, Josh Cullen; Vitinho, Nathan Tella, Anass Zaroury; Lyle Foster.
BURNLEY SUBS: Charlie Taylor, Jack Cork, Ashley Barnes, Scott Twine, Manuel Benson, Samuel Bastien, Halil Dervisoglu, Michael Obafemi, Arijanet Muric.
Burnley put their march back towards the Premier League on hold this week to test their mettle against the cream of the crop in the FA Cup. The Clarets have been in sensational form in the second tier and look set to smash the points record on their way back to the top flight. Vincent Kompany knows all too well about the quality that City possess and knows that his team face a challenge to book a semi-final berth for the first time since 1974.
Burnley have had their moments in the tie and could well have responded through Ian Maatsen before the break. Nathan Tella also had a strike saved by Stefen Ortega. If Vincent Kompany's men get the next goal it could set up a tense second half.
There is a two-week international break before City return to action against Liverpool in the Premier League on April 1st. Burnley return to action in the Championship at home to Sunderland on March 31.
Thanks for joining our commentary today. Until next time, goodbye.
