Rodrigo (on his goal) 💬

"It was a great goal for me and important.

"I don't have many chances around the area. I want to shoot and score goals.

"It was important for the team to make it 3-0.

"I think I have the first adaptation myself. I want to be the best version.

"It's not easy to be in this position. I know it's going to be the best version in my performance.

"The result helps to have that confidence. I'm feeling good in the team."

Rodrigo 💬

"It was a good night for us. We needed the victory.

"We were having a party because we needed the victory for confidence!

"It was important for us. We're doing our best but sometimes, you don't get the results.

"It's a long way to the end of the season but it's important for us.

"We started very good against our opponent - we knew exactly what we wanted to do and our intensity was good.

"It's the way to do it."

💡💡💡

Gabriel Jesus (on his previous scoring drought) 💬

"Sometimes football is like this.

"I know my qualities and I know I can score.

"I have Sergio Aguero with me - I have to learn from him. He's a legend of football.

"I have to score when I play. Sergio scores every time.

"That is my ambition - I want to play and score every time."

Gabriel Jesus 💬

"It was an important game.

"We are eight points behind, so it was a good win for us.

"That is the level - the Premier League is like this.

"Burnley has good players and they are so good with set-pieces.

"We played good again and we scored our chances."

My thoughts exactly! 👇

This man tonight. Deadly 👌

FULL-TIME ⏱

There we have it!

City stroll to a 4-1 win at Turf Moor with a superb performance.

Gabriel Jesus (2), Rodrigo and Mahrez on the scoresheet, as the Champions produce a superb response to Saturday's setback against Newcastle - and the perfect tonic ahead of this weekend's Manchester Derby.

We see you, Riyad 👀🔥

Added time ⏱

Three minutes to be added on...

Meh 👎

Disappointing not to have kept a clean sheet but that will do little to spoil this night - what has otherwise been a superb performance all round.

Mahrvellous! 🤩

Mahrez with another goal of real quality to stake his claim for a Derby starting spot, as he drives forward before drilling into the bottom corner.

FOURmidable!

Inches away! 😩

Gabriel Jesus so close to a treble but he just can't stretch enough to divert Angelino's cross in!

Easy does it 👐

City cruising now, seeing this one out very comfortably.

Burnley look a beaten team; while we're enjoying control - not overexerting ourselves.

Sensible, given the weekend's upcoming fixture...(!)

Blue blood 🩸

Gabriel Jesus meanwhile is sporting a nasty cut across his neck!

Not quite sure how that happened but ouch!

Deserved 👏

Rodrigo has been exceptional tonight. That goal caps a fine display.

A beauty! 😍

Rodrigo nets his second goal in City colours, rocketing in a half-volley past Pope and into the back of the net.

Another fantastic goal.

Meanwhile, in the Leasing.com Trophy... 🙌

Clarets roused 🤔

Burnley invogorated since that double switch.

Many had wondered why Barnes and Rodriguez had been left out of the starting XI.

Their introductions have made an impact - both on the pitch and off it, lifting the crowd.

Ooh 😮

Walker tries his luck with a strike, which deflects out for a corner. Not too far away...

City well in control.

😅

You the man! 👆

Another lovely goal 😍

Bernardo with the pinpoint curling delivery - Gabriel Jesus with the touch to smash into the roof of the net!

Breathing space - and no more than we deserve!

SECOND HALF ⏱

We're back under way!

More of the same, lads.

⚡⚡⚡

Meanwhile... 👍

Very impressive tonight 👏

Added time ⏱

Two minutes to be added on.

💪

Fine defensive work from Rodri and then Gabriel Jesus to win the ball back in the Burnley half.

City not giving the hosts any time on the ball, battling hard to win every duel.

A warning ⚠

Walker has to be alert at the other end to head out for a corner with Hendrick lurking at the backpost.

Ederson is fouled in the resulting corner and a free-kick is awarded.

You said it 👏

Watching that goal back like... 🤩

Ouch! 😣

Tarkowski with a crunching challenge on Silva, who makes his feelings known to the referee.

Been lenient so far for a few of the hosts' tackles...

Quickfire City ⚡

All started from Ederson - a rapid counter-attack, which ended with that super strike.

There had been some concern for De Bruyne's wellfare, as he went to ground in some pain in the build-up - but thankfully, he looks to be okay and able to continue.

Fantastic finish 🔥

Glorious from Gabriel, who drives towards the edge of the box before curling a sensational effort past Pope and into the far corner.

Get me one while you're there, lad! 🌭

"See ya!" 👋

Bernardo with a superb piece of skill to floor his marker, before clipping in a delivery.

Think kids these days call that "sending someone for a hot dog..."

Whatever that means!

Fiery

Otamendi not happy with the referee as Burnley win another free-kick, as Wood goes to ground.

The Argentine quite clearly frustrated with the decision.

Need to keep our cool.

Dominant so far 👍

City have been well on top here at Turf Moor.

Looking very threatening in the early exchanges, zipping the ball around well and with purpose. Some neat exchanges of play.

Burnley content to break on the counter, although they're yet to test Ederson or the City defence.

Argh! 😫

Early chance for Gabriel Jesus, as he races clear, beating the offside trap as the ball came off a Burnley player.

Doesn't fancy trying to drive the ball with his left and delays to get it onto his right foot but the chance is lost, as the hosts get players back.

Brrr! ❄

It's a cold one. (I may have mentioned that already...)

City kicking from the away end, sporting our black 'Hacienda-inspired' kit; Burnley in their claret, blue and white, of course.

Bright start, as De Bruyne looks to whip in an early delivery. It's claimed by Pope.

A reminder of our City starting XI 🗒

Turf Moor tunes 🤘

Some absolute bangers being belted out here at the ground.

The Foo Fighters - Times Like These now being blared out, as the two teams prepare to enter the pitch to a sea of claret and blue.

My kinda night out!

🔞

City have scored in 18 successive Premier League away fixtures – our second longest streak in the division.  

💙

🤣🤣🤣

Pep on Fernandinho 💬

"He can play in many positions, even the full-back, attacking midfielder.

"He’s a guy with incredible experience. He’s very good in the build-up, strong in the air, fast going forward.

"When he’s going forward, he’s good with short and long passes.

"I like him to play in this position – I know other people don’t like it, but I like it."

Pep Guardiola 💬

 "(The plan is to) try to win the game. Burnley away is always Burnley away, everybody knows it. We are here to try to win.

"It’s not necessary to see the eyes here in Burnley.

"These players are incredible for me, for the fans - they acre complete legends, for what they have done, what they do.

"Sometimes, you have ups and downs, lucky and unlucky, not the best – that’s football.

"These players are incredible for me."

Bernardo 💬

"It’s always a big challenge, especially here at their pitch.

"The atmosphere is always really good and the fans are really good.

"They’re a very physical team. We’re not expecting an easy game.

"We need to give a quick and good response after the setback at the weekend.

"That’s what we’ll try to do.

"If we want to have a chance of winning this competition, we might need to win almost every game – if not all.

"We have a complicated task ahead, starting tonight.

"We need to win so we’re focused on tonight’s game."

Club Journalist David Clayton 📝

"City make four changes for the short trip to Turf Moor.

"Angelino, Bernardo, Nicolas Otamendi and Rodrigo return to the starting line-up with Riyad Mahrez, John Stones, Benjamin Mendy all making way - Ilkay Gundogan is suspended."

💡

Crazy scenes in the away dressing room at the moment.

There are no lights on!

The players are entertaining themselves, singing Wonderwall.

Madness!

Would love to hear from you. It would simply warm my heart, which is desperately needed on this cold Tuesday night in Burnley!

Agree...? 🤔

A double City matchday! 🔵

🌛

An equally enjoyable visit. 5-0 up at half-time! 🤩

A game of fine margins... and how crucial it was! 📏

Pep Guardiola on Burnley 💬

“It’s always difficult for all the teams. What they do, they do perfectly.

“They play quick with Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood and after they arrive down the sides and make good crosses and have good finishing with the two strikers.

“They are so good in the second balls, with free-kicks and corners. We have to adapt to this style of play and impose our way.

“The players have to believe.

“They have to believe we will win. They can’t think too much about the people in front.

“We have to think about what to do to win the games. We have to try to be more solid with the chances we have and the chances we concede.”

Dedication 👏

Couldn't have put it better myself! 💪

Burnley manager Sean Dyche

"At that level, that real sharp edge of trying to win the league, trying to win in Europe, the tiny details affect a way a team operates.

"I'm not sitting here crying on their behalf, but when you're at the super-elite level and the expectation is massive then the team loses key players, it affects the balance.

"I don't know the thoughts inside the camp, but I don't think they're a million miles away and I think they're a top, top side."

Third Round draw

FA Cup holders City will play Port Vale in the third round.

The tie will be played at Etihad Stadium over the weekend of the 3/6 January.

The draw took place at the Etihad Stadium Legends' Lounge, with former City favourite Micah Richards and Arsenal legend Tony Adams drawing the balls.

City and Vale have only met once before in the FA Cup, with the Blues winning 2-1 at Vale Park in 1991.

The teams have met 23 times in total, with City winning 18 and losing four.

The last meeting was in 1999.

Vale won three successive meetings between 1996 and 1998, including successive wins at Maine Road.

The League Two side, currently ninth in the table, are managed by former Macclesfield Town legend John Askey.

Stat

City beat Burnley three times last season: 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium in both the Premier League and FA Cup, and 1-0 at Turf Moor in the league.

Head-to-head

Burnley have only won one of the past 22 meetings in all competitions, and none in eight since a 1-0 home victory in March 2015 (D1, L7).

Good morning!

Live commentary will start this evening just after 6pm. 

Until then, here's a few bits to keep you entertained.
