  1. Guardiola not surprised at Burnley success

    Man City v Burnley (17:45 GMT)

    Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has praised Burnley's performances this season.

    "From what I have seen, I'm not surprised at all with their position or what they have done in the Championship," Guardiola said.

    "They will be a really tough opponent because they do incredible things on the pitch.

    "They're so close to being a Premier League team. The way they play is exceptional."

    Asked if he believed Vincent Kompany might one day return to the club, Guardiola said: "After seeing his team, I'm more than convinced he's going to come back.

    "When? I don't know, but it's going to happen," he added.

  2. 'A top human being'

    City manager Pep Guardiola says he isn't surprised how well Burnley are doing in the Championship under the guidance of his former captain Vincent Kompany. Guardiola couldn't speak highly enough about the Burnley manager, calling him a "top human being".

  3. 'One of the biggest legends'

    Man City v Burnley (17:45 GMT)

    Pep Guardiola says Burnley boss Vincent Kompany is one of the "biggest legends" he has managed as he prepares to welcome the former Manchester City captain back to Etihad Stadium.

    Kompany, 36, won four Premier League titles during his 11 years at City.

    "He was an incredible figure here. He is one of the biggest legends I have had," Guardiola, 52, said of Kompany.

    "But I am a little bit concerned because when you start to play a game against a player you had on the touchline, you realise how old you are becoming!"

    Former Belgium defender Kompany, who left City to join Anderlecht as player-manager in 2019, has made a huge impact since taking charge of Burnley last summer.

    The Clarets are 13 points clear at the top of the Championship and need just three wins from their final nine matches to seal a return to the Premier League.

    Vincent Kompany will always be considered a Manchester City great.

    An inspirational captain, he helped them win four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and the League Cup four times.
