Game Preview
Vincent Kompany will take his Burnley team to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening to face Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The treble remains within City’s grasp this season, and Pep Guardiola’s men will look to book their place at Wembley for the eighth consecutive year when they host Burnley, whom they have beaten in each of their last four FA Cup meetings, most recently 5-0 in the fourth round in 2018-19.
The Citizens have already beaten Championship opposition in this season’s FA Cup, winning 3-0 at Bristol City in the fifth round last month after comfortably defeating Premier League rivals Chelsea and Arsenal without reply in the previous two rounds earlier this year.
