There’s a decisive game this Wednesday in the next round of Premier League fixtures as basement-boys Burnley’s second-tier status for next season could be announced early should they be defeated, hosting a determined Manchester City at Turf Moor. The Clarets’ key striker, Zian Flemming, to record a shot on target isn’t to be overlooked ahead of kickoff.
Flemming started the scoring last time out against Nottingham Forest, although they couldn't hold onto the lead for too long, finishing with a woeful 4-1 loss, in a game that could’ve been much more valuable. This result is a tell-tale sign of a team that is low on confidence and has accepted their fate.
Despite their results in recent games, Flemming hasn’t resigned from his duties, creating at least one shot in all of his last nine EPL appearances, more than one in five. As well as his goal last time out, he’s also found the net in four out of his last six matches in the league, two of which being against Chelsea and Brentford, so he can compete in the big games.

Our Burnley vs Manchester City Prediction
The Dutchman hasn’t always been available in Burnley’s fixtures against the EPL top-dogs, though in the five most recent games he has started, home and away, he’s produced nine goal attempts and found the target in each of his last three, netting in each too.
In comparison to the lack of confidence in other Burnley men, Flemming doesn't seem to be too affected, producing a total of 25 shots in his last nine EPL games, not failing to find the target in all of his last six. In their last home game against Brighton, Flemming was extremely unfortunate not to grab a goal, taking five shots with two on target.
Naturally, Burnley will find this game very difficult and will struggle. But since Man City are eager to win, to get level with Arsenal, Burnley should have a couple of chances on the break, and Flemming has been very useful in these situations.
Our Burnley vs Man City Pick: Zian Flemming 1+ Shots on Target.
