 The qualifications for the greatest football fiesta began almost a year a ago and continents across the world are rounding up qualifications for the apex football competition. The qualification round have springed up surprises all through the qualifications as notable big names and countries are set to miss this year's showpiece.  In Europe, European Champions, Italy won't be gracing the mundial in back to back years as they were hooked out in qualification by underdogs, North Mercedonia who were later dumped out by Ronaldo and co in the follow-up fixture.  Zlatan Imbrahimovic's Sweden also won't be at the oil rich region in November too as they were told to sit at home by Lewandoski's Poland.

Image
Match Preview  Burnley hosting Manchester City at Turf Moore is going to be a game of the biblical David versus the Goliath but in this case it is evident the Goliath will take the day. Burnley have just 1 win on their books in five games, losing their last three games and are currently definitely having a turbulent season. The Clarets are languishing 19th on the PL log and are in dire need of redemption in their quest to escape relegation and a miraculous victory against the Citizens will tend to shape the remainder of their season. Sean Dyche's side aren't favorite here but can put up a display that can bring some dirts to Pep Guardiola's title charge if they give their visitor a harsh reception. Manchester City might begin the kickoff to this game at second on the log if Liverpool covertly win it's early kickoff against Watford and with Pep Guardiola and his charges still in the mix for the PL crown, losing is not an option.
