One win in 19 attempts - Burnley's poor Premier League record v Man City
[Getty Images] On 21 April 2025, Scott Parker's Burnley confirmed their promotion back to the Premier League with a 2-1 victory against Sheffield United at Turf Moor. One year and one day on, Parker's Clarets are on the brink of a return to the Championship. They have taken only 20 points from their first 33 games and a loss to Manchester City on Wednesday would confirm their relegation back into the second tier.
The statistics of previous meetings between the two do not make good reading for Burnley followers. They have won just one of their 19 Premier League games against City (drawn three, lost 15) and to add to the Clarets' woes, they have lost their past 11 in a row against City - their longest ever losing run against an opponent in their league history. As a manager, Parker has lost all five of his Premier League matches against City by an aggregate score of 16-1.
