Squad sheets: Burnley v Manchester City

Under Brian Laws, Burnley's form is abysmal – one win in 13 – but subterranean morale ought to be lifted by the return of captain Steven Caldwell, back after four months out. Manchester City have been consistent only in their inconsistency of late, losing to Hull and Stoke, then winning at Chelsea; losing their unbeaten home record to Everton, then thumping Wigan on Monday, with a Tevez hat-trick. Roberto Mancini, whose job depends on winning the race for fourth place, was hoping to recall Stephen Ireland, but he is not quite ready, and Pablo Zabaleta starts a two-match ban. Joe Lovejoy
