Burnley and Manchester City have named their starting teams for their Premier League meeting at Turf Moor on Wednesday.
The hosts, who are on an eight-match winless run and have lost their last three, will make an immediate return to the Championship with four games to spare if they lose and be all-but mathematically relegated with a draw.
Victory for second-placed City would send them above leaders Arsenal on goal difference with five matches remaining for each of the top two.
