Burnley striker Ashley Barnes is looking forward to today's clash with Manchester City.

Burnley host City this afternoon with Pep Guardiola's side knowing a win will send them back to the top of the Premier League.

Liverpool are currently at the summit with a 5-0 win over Huddersfield on Friday returning the Reds to the top.

"I've had a few messages yesterday from Liverpool fans making a joke of it but it's all good," Barnes told the Burnley Express.

“It would mean everything [to win against City].

“Klopp has even given me a sly text to say that if I score he might sign me for next season – so I might be on the move!

“But look, for something so silly, it would be a massive thing if I was to score and we were to win.

“All of us would probably go down in Liverpool history if we helped them out."
