Burnley vs Manchester City tickets

Burnley host Manchester City at Turf Moor on Sunday, April 26, 2026 in a fixture that carries extra intrigue thanks to the presence of Kyle Walker. The former City captain joined Burnley in the summer of 2025 after eight trophy-laden years at the Etihad, and will face his old club looking to end an extraordinarily one-sided run that has seen the Clarets go 14 matches without beating their Lancashire neighbours.

Turf Moor

Turf Moor has been home to Burnley FC since 1883, making it one of the oldest continuously used football grounds in England. With a capacity of approximately 21,944, it provides an intimate and atmospheric venue for Premier League football. The ground has witnessed some of English football's greatest moments and remains a fortress for the Clarets faithful in the heart of East Lancashire.

Head-to-Head Record

Manchester City and Burnley have met 113 times across all competitions, with City holding a dominant lead of 58 wins to Burnley's 30, with 25 draws. The first meeting between these Lancashire rivals dates back to October 1897. In the Premier League era, City's dominance has been even more pronounced - they have won 15 and drawn 3 of their 19 top-flight meetings, scoring 56 goals in the process. City have won their last 14 encounters with the Clarets in all competitions, a run stretching back to 2015.

Last Meeting

Manchester City cruised to a 5-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium on September 27, 2025 to make it 14 wins in a row over Burnley. Two own goals from the unfortunate Maxime Estève set the tone, though Burnley showed fight when Jaidon Anthony equalised with a deflected strike before half-time - only their third goal against City in 14 meetings. Matheus Nunes rifled in a volley to restore City's lead before Estève's second own goal effectively ended the contest. Erling Haaland added a late brace in the 90th and 90+3 minutes to complete the rout. Jeremy Doku was outstanding for City, while Kyle Walker had a solid game for Burnley against his former club.

Burnley 2025/26 Season

Scott Parker guided Burnley back to the Premier League with a stunning 100-point Championship campaign. The summer saw a significant statement of intent with the capture of Kyle Walker from Manchester City on a two-year deal worth up to £5m. The 35-year-old, who won 17 trophies during his eight-year stay at the Etihad, brings invaluable experience to a side looking to establish themselves back in the top flight. Other arrivals include goalkeeper Max Weiss, Quilindschy Hartman, Axel Tuanzebe, and Loum Tchaouna. Burnley's solid defensive foundation from their title-winning season provides hope for survival.

Manchester City 2025/26 Season

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City enter 2025-26 without Kevin De Bruyne (departed to Napoli), Kyle Walker (Burnley), and Ederson (Fenerbahçe) for the first time in years. Key arrivals include Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG and Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders. Erling Haaland continues to be the focal point of City's attack, while Bernardo Silva has been named as the new club captain following Walker's departure. Despite early-season struggles including defeats to Tottenham and Brighton, City remain among the favourites for the title.
