Manchester City did their heavy lifting during the week by qualifying for the knockout round of the Champions League.Now they try to string together consecutive Premier League victories for the first time in nearly two months Saturday against Burnley at Turf Moor.The Citizens (8-3-1) ensured they would be in the round of 16 in Europes most prestigious club tournament for the fourth straight year with a 1-1 draw at Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday. David Silvas goal in first-half stoppage time canceled out a marker by Raffael and ensured City would finish second to Barcelona in Group C with one match to spare.I am so happy to be there (in the knockout phase), manager Pep Guardiola told Citys official website. The first part of the season is so important, to qualify for the next round. We did it -- and now we can focus on the Premier League.I am so satisfied for all the games. I was a trainer here in Germany and I know how difficult Gladbach are. But we did it, which is why it is big congratulations to the team.About the only downside to their qualification is that City will face one of the eight group winners in the first knockout round. But after reaching the semifinals last year -- their deepest penetration in club history -- Guardiola thinks his team can cause problems of their own.We know that in Europe every team you play can cause you problems, he told The Mirror. But were improving. We have to improve in Europe and I believe we can do that. … In the finals, all the teams will be really tough.Manchester City would like to resume being tough domestically.After starting the season with six wins on the trot, they have claimed just two in their last six league matches (2-3-1) and are in third place, one point behind Chelsea and trailing Liverpool on goals scored.But they are coming off a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in which Yaya Toure made his long-awaited return. Reportedly banished because his agent got into a row with Guardiola, the Ivorian international bagged a brace in his first playing time of any sort since Aug. 24, and he could wind up being a key player for Citys Premier League title hopes since he was left off the Champions League roster by Guardiola.The last two months he was amazing in the training sessions. His behaviour was absolutely perfect, Guardiola said of Toure, whose style doesnt make him a perfect fit for Guardiolas fast-paced ball movement.His teammates love him. Hes another guy who will help us with the rotation in the team.Burnley (4-2-6) slipped to 12th in the table after absorbing their heaviest loss of the season, 4-0 at West Bromwich Albion on Monday. The Clarets continued their struggles on the road, having taken just one point from five matches while being outscored a staggering 13-1 in those contests.They were fully deserving of everything and we simply werent, manager Sean Dyche told Burnleys official website. Me as a manager, because I know my own team, I thought it just doesnt look like us. There was not enough energy, enough fight actually. We were outgunned on every level, more or less.The lack of offence continues to be a concern for the Clarets. Their 11 goals are better than only new boys Middlesbrough and Hull City, and the team seems to be overly reliant on Welsh forward Sam Vokes, who has four of them. But if there is a positive to be had, returning to Turf Moor -- where Burnley have claimed all but one of their 14 points with a 4-1-2 mark -- could signal a fightback.We need to pick ourselves up. Its a massive game and hopefully we can get some points from that, winger and Iceland international Johann Gudmundsson said. (City) are a fantastic team. But we have shown against good teams we can play really well, so we will do that next weekend, definitely.The Clarets got the better of City in their last season in the top flight in 2014-15, taking four points off the Citizens. Their 1-0 victory at Turf Moor on George Boyds goal March 14, 2015, is Burnleys lone win in four Premier League matches between the teams (1-2-1). Vapormax Sale .
