The Clarets are in Manchester, as a step on our way to Wembley and FA Cup glory.

Madge is charged up and ready to go, in support of our heroes.

Come on you Clarets, show them we can play.

Afternoon all from a shocker of a day here in Galway , now not too cold but but some amount of rain today , thinking about building a big boat , hummmm may take some animals along just in case .
Open minded about today just hoping for the best really .

Afternoon Clarets everywhere. Give it a lash today, Tuesday is far more important.
COYC.

Afternoon Ian, afternoon Tribesmen and Piston - a good performance and no heavy defeat will suffice, for me. It's all about the league this season.

Let's get at them! COYC!

Starting Lineup:

What a weird lineup.

Tarks at rb, Taylor at lb?

Or we could line up in a 4-4-2 with Tarks at right back.

CITY XI |
Ederson, Walker, Danilo, Stones, Otamendi, Fernandinho (C), Gundogan, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Jesus

SUBS | Muric, Sterling, Agüero, Laporte, Sané, Silva, Foden

Tis a bit but not completely unexpected.

Looks like we're banking on City not playing a left back or a left winger!!

------------------Pope---------------------------
------------Long Tarks Gibson-------Ward/Taylor
--------------Hendrick Defour------ McNeil/Brady
-----------------Vydra----------------------------

Line-up completed via a draw, by the look of it! First out is keeper, next out rightside defender etc.

Just luck we are going to win anyway. Never heard of any of that city team!

They’ll be a ******* trench down the left before half time.

Let's wait and see. Players have a chance to play for the shirt and Stones always makes a mistake or three.
I can see the headline Pop frustrates Jesus.

Nice to see city fielding a weak side against us! Got them worried already!

With that lineup, we can't hope for more than a narrow win.. UTC!

Vokes must be a bit miffed

Agree about Vokes, we could have played him at left back and moved both Ward and Taylor forwards.

Still getting my head around the line up , nope still can't work it out . Hey Pep is going to be worried .

Afternoon all, horrible morning up here but the rain has cleared away at last. No idea what to expect this afternoon, be happy with a good performance.COYC

He'll get on last 20 mins, to defend corners. Our only substitution of the day, barring injuries.

Sorry just seen it's my birthday , well should i say 3 years to the day since i have been on here .
Go on Clarets make my day .

Sorry to spoilt it, but It's the 26th today. You missed it.

Derryclaret/Tribesmen,

Just wondered what the view in Ireland is regarding Hendrick?

Do they like him as a player?

Set up to hopefully not get stuffed. I hope Nick plays better than he did for the U23's last week. I'm not concerned, it's still early days in his recovery.
We have a habit of playing well at Citeh, then imploding as soon as the 1st goes in, the second follows within minutes. We need to keep our heads today, remember there are more important things coming up, and enjoy ourselves. I can't see how we can carry a threat going forward with a midfield and forward line that aren't used to playing with each other, nudge nudge wink wink, say no more.

UTC

I'm pretty confident that by looking at the image, Pope is in goal.

Woooooooooooooo they don't if you follow football forums that is .
Most hated Wardy also . But i have to say Jeff is stealing a staring place in the Irish team and that's saying something .

For those watching the stream, perhaps one of you can confirm the lineup.

Afternoon all, Come on you Clarets, every punter has us written off

Got a tenner at 34/1 on us winning today

Watching on Sportsmania and listening to Clarets Player in Greystones Ireland

COME ON SUPER BURNLEY

Black shirt and shorts. Looks like we are going to a funeral

All lineup for a minutes silence.

Hasn't progressed since the Euros, had a poor nations league, it will be interesting to see if Mick McCarthy will start him

lets hope the ref stays neutral and isn't influenced by their cheating

Let's last 5-10 minutes without conceding.

Do the ROI have many other options though,could explain why Jeff gets a starting berth for them

Game delayed after Kyle Walker snaps the corner flag whilst putting a corner in.

Game on

top save Pope

Good save Pope

pope is magic

Pope is blessed

good spell of play there Clarets

Lovely footwork by McNeil

Mcneil is just class

Edit: bloody auto correct

Got to say our fans our louder than citys...

McNeil is so comfortable on the ball, gives it to Taylor who aimlessly launches it and Dyche ******** him for giving the ball away !
