A late booking for Barnes, who clattered into Otamendi.
90' +1
There will be three minutes of stoppage time…
90'
Brilliant tracking back from Lennon, who is there to prevent Diaz getting on the end of Aguero’s pass, before then forcing the ball out off the City winger, winning a goal kick.
87'
City can only have themselves to blame if they drop points here. Sterling’s miss perhaps sums up their display. The visitors have been brilliant in midfield, but ultimately wasteful in the final third.
85'
Gudmundsson (7) has been involved in more goals than any other Burnley player in the Premier League this season, with two goals and five assists.
82'
J. Guðmundsson has scored a goal for Burnley! Assist by M. Lowton.
GOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!! BURNLEY EQUALISE! Well, you can’t say it hasn’t been coming! Lowton delivers a fantastic cross to the far post, and Gudmundsson is on hand to finish with a wonderful half-volley. Game on!
Gudmundsson’s finish was brilliant, but Lowton’s delivery was inch-perfect. Sterling looks dejected on the bench, and his miss just over 10 minutes ago has proved costly!
79'
Burnley are pressing high now, and City’s defence are under some pressure. However, Silva manages to get a ball out to De Bruyne, whose pass into Aguero is inch-perfect. The Argentine finds Diaz, but Lowton does well to force the youngster wide.
77'
Gudmundsson’s set-piece delivery has been superb today, and the Iceland international puts in another great cross from a corner on the right. Long rises to meet it, but can only turn his header over.
74'
Brahim Díaz enters the game and replaces R. Sterling.
That horrid miss will signal the end of Raheem Sterling’s day. The former Liverpool man is taken off, with youngster Brahim Diaz coming on.
73'
B. Mee gets yellow.
Mee becomes the next Burnley player to go into the book, after he clattered into Silva on the half-way line. As I type, Fernadinho’s clearance falls to Lennon 20 yards out, but his strike sails over.
Minute
Description
72'
We have some game on our hands now, with Burnley really threatening at the moment, and City could well be made to pay for their profligacy in front of goal.
71'
WHAT A MISS! How has Sterling not put that one in!? De Bruyne was the architect with a sublime throughball in behind Burnley’s defence, with Walker on the end of it. He stretches to put in a brilliant cross, with Sterling waiting in the six yard box but, inexplicably, the winger shanks it wide of an open goal.
69'
WHAT A SAVE! That was the chance for Burnley! A mistake from Kompany allows Gudmundsson to lead a Burnley counter, with Cork then teeing up Lennon. The winger stuck it brilliantly, but Ederson somehow got a strong hand to it to turn the strike onto the woodwork.
67'
Fantastic defending from Taylor, who manages to turn De Bruyne’s pinpoint cross away from Aguero, who was lingering at the back post.
65'
Gudmundsson delivers a great cross to the far post from the set-piece, with Mee having spun away from Kompany, but the defender can’t connect with his attempted header.
64'
İ. Gündoğan gets yellow.
Great pressure from Lennon, who manages to intercept a loose ball, forcing Gundogan into a sloppy challenge on the edge of City’s area.
60'
De Bruyne goes for goal from the free-kick, but his effort clatters straight into Burnley’s wall.
59'
Danilo drives infield and proceeds to power forward. A heavy touch draws a tackle from Long, but City’s defender just manages to get there first, winning a free-kick 25 yards out.
57'
SAVE! Danilo tries his luck again in a near carbon-copy of his earlier effort for City’s opener. This time, however, Pope gets across to tip it over.
56'
That’s sloppy from Gundogan who, after weaving his way through Burnley’s defence, mishits a relatively simple pass into Sterling. City do get a corner from it, however, with Long having turned it wide.
54'
CHANCE! City counter at speed - Silva and Aguero combining brilliantly to tee up Sterling, but he can only skew his effort over when one-on-one with Pope.
53'
Finally, Burnley get the chance to relieve some pressure as they work it to Lennon down the left. The former Everton winger can’t beat Walker, though, and has to come back inside, with the move breaking down.
50'
Alert defending from Long, who is well-placed to prevent Aguero's cross-cum-shot getting into the six yard box. City again go short from the resulting corner, and Lennon does well to deny Gundogan a shooting opportunity.
48'
Two early chances for City, as Gundogan flashes a ball across the area that nobody manages to turn home before, from the resulting corner, the former Borussia Dortmund man finds space again, but his strike is deflected wide.
46'
M. Lowton enters the game and replaces P. Bardsley.
Phil Bardsley suffered an injury early on, and the full-back will not return for the second half. Matthew Lowton is his replacement as we get back up and running at Turf Moor.
45' +4
Again, De Bruyne pulls the strings for City on the edge of Burnley’s area, slipping a sublime throughball into Gundogan, but the Germany midfielder can’t take it into his path.
45' +3
De Bruyne picks out Aguero with a stunning cross-field pass, and the Argentine is able to cut in from the flank and drive at goal. His strike, however, is well-saved by Pope.
45'
There will be a minimum of four minutes added time.
42'
J. Cork gets yellow.
A booking for Cork, who cynically brought down De Bruyne to prevent City countering.
41'
Burnley have definitely come back into this game since Mee’s first chance, and now Lennon gets a first opportunity to run at Walker, doing well to get past the England right-back and into the box. Kompany, though, is well-placed to make a challenge.
39'
SAVE! De Bruyne is allowed to drive through Burnley’s midfield at will, and the Belgian then unleashes a low strike that Pope does well to stop. Silva is on hand to connect with the rebound, but can’t generate the power to turn it home.
38'
K. Long gets yellow.
A first booking of the game now, as Long scythes down Gundogan in the middle of the park.
37'
CLOSE! See wins a header at the back post, but despite being relatively unchallenged, the defender can’t direct his effort on target.
35'
Sterling looks to slip a pass into Danilo’s pass, and although the full-back gets there, he can’t manage to beat Bardsley, who stuck to his task well.
32'
Well, almost the curse of the commentator there for City, as Mee - with a close-range volley - draws a top-class save out of Ederson, who did brilliantly to tip the defender’s effort around the post.
31'
City have won their last 25 Premier League games in which they scored the first goal. They are also unbeaten in each of the last 34 league games when scoring first, and so far Burnley have offered little threat going forward.
30'
Sterling twice goes close. First, he tests Pope with a long-range effort before, moments later, the winger links up with Gundogan, but can't quite latch onto the German's return pass.
28'
STAT - Danilo has had a hand in three league goals this season (2 goals, 1 assist), equalling his return for Real Madrid last season in 17 appearances.
27'
City break through Sterling, who finds Aguero. The Argentine finds room to get a shot off, but Bardsley and Long get over to stem the danger.
25'
Cork gets the wrong side of Sterling, and is forced into conceding a foul merely to prevent the City winger driving through the heart of Burnley’s midfield. The hosts are struggling to get a foothold in this match at the moment.
22'
Danilo has scored a goal for Manchester City! Assist by Bernardo Silva.
GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!! WHAT A STRIKE FROM DANILO! A quite superb effort from the full-back, who gives Pope no chance with a pinpoint, curling shot into the top-right corner from 25 yards out.
De Bruyne went short from a corner, Silva picking up the ball on the cusp of the area and laying it off to Danilo, who seemed to know he had scored as soon as the ball left his boot.
21'
City are piling on the pressure a bit now, as Silva is just inches away from tucking home at the back post…
20'
Walker finds space down the right and delivers a brilliant, low cross into the area. Gundogan tried to flick it on at the near post, but Long is on hand to clear.
19'
Burnley have scored the fewest home goals of any Premier League side this season (8), while only Liverpool (32) have scored more on the road than City (28).
17'
Composed play from Ederson, who has to take in a poor pass-back from Kompany before calmly picking out Otamendi. Burnley keep up the pressure, however, with Kompany lucky not to concede possession when Vokes charged in on him.
14'
CLOSE! City go short from the set-piece - Silva then floating in a brilliant cross that takes a bit of a deflection on the way through. It very nearly falls kindly for Kompany, but the Belgian can’t quite get on the end of it under pressure from Pope.
13'
City work a move down the right flank, isolating Taylor. The ball eventually comes to De Bruyne 20 yards out, but his strike is blocked wide.
12'
Otamendi takes a risk by allowing the ball to bounce deep in City’s half, and Vokes wastes no time in looking to make the most of the Argentine’s hesitation. However, Otamendi manages to hook it clear just before the Welshman gets there.
10'
STAT - This is the fourth time a team has named fewer than seven substitutes in a Premier League game this season.
9'
Guardiola has only named six substitutes for today’s clash, with a plethora of City players absent through injury. The Spaniard wanted to bring in Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez on Deadline Day to bolster City’s ranks, but that move ultimately failed to come to fruition.
7'
A further stoppage now, as both Vokes and Bardsley have to receive treatment. Both players, however, will be able to carry on.
6'
Otamendi wins the header from the resulting corner, with Kompany latching onto the loose ball, only to loft a header straight at Pope.
5'
Good defending from Mee, who gets across to deflect Walker’s cross out for a corner, with Aguero lingering. The chance came about after Kompany won a header against Barnes, and the Burnley man is now receiving treatment following an awkward landing. It looks as though he’ll be able to continue, though.
4'
City have won six of their last seven trips to Turf Moor in all competitions, with the other game a 1-0 defeat in 2015 - Burnley's only victory against the Citizens in 18 matches in all competitions.
2'
Ashley Barnes will be key today for Burnley if they are to get support up to Vokes, while Lennon and Gudmundsson will also be tasked with cutting in from the flanks when the opportunity arises.
1'
KICK-OFF! We are up and running at Turf Moor as City, donning their dark away strip, get proceedings underway.
Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of today’s early Premier League encounter, as Burnley welcome runaway league leaders Manchester City to Turf Moor.
After a brilliant run that put them in seventh, Burnley have faltered in recent weeks, having failed to win a game since December 12. And it is difficult to foresee a win for Sean Dyche’s side today against a City team in scintillating form.
The league looks all-but wrapped up for Pep Guardiola’s side, who sit 15 points clear of second-placed Manchester United as it stands. Since suffering their first defeat of the top-flight campaign against Liverpool, City have won their last four games across all competitions, booking their place in the League Cup final in the process.
These sides have already met twice this term - both at the Etihad. The league fixture in October finished 3-0 to the Citizens, while Guardiola’s men also triumphed in the FA Cup third round.
Two changes from Dyche compared to the side that started in Burnley’s last game - a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United on Wednesday. Aaron Lennon comes in for his full debut following his arrival from Everton, while Sam Vokes returns to lead the line. Scott Arfield and Ashley Westwood drop out.
Manchester City substitutes: Bravo, Laporte, Adarabioyo, Zinchenko, Toure, Diaz.
Manchester City (4-3-3): Emerson; Walker, Company, Otamendi, Danilo; De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Gundogan; Silva, Aguero, Sterling.
There are three alterations in total from Guardiola, who introduces Vincent Kompany back into the side at the expense of club-record signing Aymeric Laporte, who had an impressive debut against West Brom. Oleksandr Zinchenko makes way for Danilo at left-back, while David Silva drops out all together - Ilkay Gundogan his replacement.
HALF-TIME: Burnley 0 Manchester City 1.
A confident display from City so far, with the visitors 1-0 up courtesy of Danilo’s sublime strike. There have been more chances for the visitors, with De Bruyne at his best in midfield, though Burnley did offer more threat as the half wore on.
It's full-time at Turf Moor, where Burnley have claimed a deserved point thanks to Gudmundsson’s late equaliser, cancelling out Danilo’s first-half stunner.
Despite their wastefulness in front of goal, City still lead at the top of the table by 16 points. Burnley, meanwhile, stay in seventh place.
Dyche’s side stayed in the game, riding their luck at times, but come away with a brilliant result. City, meanwhile, will look back on Sterling’s dreadful miss as the key moment.
That’s all from me for now. Until next time, thank you and goodbye!
