Meanwhile, they have underperformed at home throughout the campaign, going 12 without a victory at Turf Moor.

Man City have taken control of the Premier League title race, with their 2-1 win over Arsenal on Sunday ensuring that the destination of the championship is now in their own hands. City were relentless in the win over the Gunners, with Erling Haaland netting the crucial winner in the second half.
