    Man City 0-0 Burnley

    Unsurprisingly, Vincent Kompany gets a standing ovation from the home supporters as his name is read out. Even Pep Guardiola joined in.

    He applauds all sides of the ground.

    Kompany must feel a bit weird with all those familiar songs.

    Bizarrely Burnley keeper Arijanet Muric was on the bench for Manchester City when these sides last met in the FA Cup in January 2019.

    Muric is Vincent Kompany's first choice keeper but stands down for Bailey Peacock-Farrell in this competition so he is on the bench again this evening.

  4. Done on the daypublished at 17:44 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2023

    Man City v Burnley (17:45 GMT)

    This is the first of the FA Cup quarter-finals with the other three being played tomorrow.

    These are the other matches...

    • Sheffield United v Blackburn (12:00 GMT)
    • Brighton v Grimsby (14:15 GMT)
    • Manchester United v Fulham (16:30 GMT).

    There are no replays in the rest of the tournament so tonight's match has to be done in the next few hours - extra-time and even penalties if needed.

    Arsenal are catchable in the Premier League. You wonder if the lure of the Champions League for Manchester City is too big, the only thing that can stop them [in the Premier League] is something bigger; that is the Champions League because they've never won it.

    The last time Vincent Kompany played for Manchester City against Burnley at the Etihad Stadium was October 2018, when he played the full 90 minutes and got booked in a 5-0 win.

    Perhaps the score shouldn't be much of a surprise.

    City have won their last eight home games against the Clarets. In four of the last five, the result was 5-0.

    The last time Burnley avoided defeat here was when they came back to draw 2-2 after being two goals behind in December 2018.

    Burnley's last away win at City was in 1963.

    Vincent Kompany understands the connection between players, fans, everything. It is so obvious that he's used the captain's armband leading into management.

  11. 'I have to do my job'published at 17:18 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2023

    Man City v Burnley (17:45 GMT)

    "I am extremely grateful for every moment I've been able to experience at Manchester City," said Burnley manager Vincent Kompany.

    "But I have to approach this game in the same way I approached every game at Manchester City, which is to do my job and live for that."

    Kompany's final game as Manchester City captain was the club's 2019 FA Cup final win over Watford, which secured a domestic treble that year.

    His Burnley side has scored 74 goals in 37 league games this season, conceding just 29. They have only lost twice in the Championship - and not since 5 November.

    Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Wednesday [against Leipzig] was like watching City again. Erling Haaland scored five, he was superb, Kevin de Bruyne was superb.

    Burnley have a sniff, the only reason is because it is the FA Cup. That's it. Anything can happen.

    • Having lost their first FA Cup meeting with Burnley in January 1931, Manchester City have won each of their past four against the Clarets in the competition, most recently a 5-0 win in the fourth round in 2018-19.
    • Manchester City have reached the semi-final of the FA Cup in five of their six seasons under Pep Guardiola, failing only in 2017-18. They could become the third team to reach the last four of the competition in five consecutive seasons since the creation of the Football League, after Manchester United (1961-62 to 1965-66) and Arsenal (2000-01 to 2004-05).
    • City's Riyad Mahrez has been involved in eight goals in his past seven FA Cup matches, scoring six and assisting two. The Algerian has also been involved in eight goals in his last eight games against Burnley in all competitions (7 goals, one assist).

    Chris Sutton
    Former Blackburn striker

    For this week's Premier League and FA Cup predictions Chris Sutton faces Black Honey guitarist Chris Ostler.

    Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola does not mess around in the FA Cup so you know they will field a strong team here.

    Burnley are 13 points clear at the top of the Championship but they don't just get results, they also play a really good brand of football.

    They will make it quite an open game, but City should have too much for them.

    Sutton's prediction: 3-1

    Chris Ostler's prediction: 3-0

    Kompany has really impressed me with what he's done with Burnley this season, but I only see this tie going one way. City to win it comfortably.

    We're focusing on the FA Cup, but there's already been four games in the Premier League today with Chelsea v Everton to come.

    Tottenham were 3-1 up away at Southampton but a 93rd-minute James Ward-Prowse penalty earned the Saints a dramatic point.

    Kalvin Phillips' face adorns the front of today's match programme but the England midfielder still doesn't get a starting spot in Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side today.

    The £45m summer signing has made 12 appearances and started twice since his move from Leeds.

    Phillips can only hope the situation improves over the final weeks of the season.

    There can't be many times when the manager of a visiting team goes to a stadium where he has his own statue.

    But that is the reality for Vincent Kompany today.

    The Burnley boss is a legendary figure at Manchester City - although he is not too keen on his former boss Pep Guardiola repeatedly stating his belief Kompany will return to the Etihad Stadium as manager one day.
