Tactical Attention on Howe
St James' Park side could end up in the drop zone if they suffer defeat against Manchester City and other matches in other games don't go their way.
The statistics are unfavorable for Howe, who has failed to secure victory Pep Guardiola in eighteen prior top flight attempts.
Howe's history against Guardiola stands at two stalemates and 16 losses from their past encounters.
"Our progress and without doubt I've seen a significant progress from us," commented Burnley coach the gaffer. "We need to work on little tiny bits at this present moment in time."
The comeback of top flight action comes after a chaotic national team period that saw unforgettable events including Scotland's dramatic qualification for the World Cup.
