Liverpool legend John Barnes does not believe Manchester City's rivalry with his old club is the greatest in Premier League history.
Man City's Turf Moor record quashes any bogey-ground talk ahead of Premier League clash
28.03.2022 - 08:29 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A bogey ground is one of those terms regularly used in football discourse that, quite simply – no one knows exactly how to define.
On the face of it, a ‘bogey ground’ is a stadium where a team struggles to pick up regular results from, or is consistently on the end of terrorising defeats.
Take Watford for example, they must hate the sight of the Etihad Stadium. The Hornets have failed to beat Manchester City away from home since April 1987 – and that’s when the Blues were still at Maine Road and the Premier League was still five years away from its formation. In their 12 visits to City since that day, the north-west London outfit have lost on 11 occasions, with an aggregate score of 37-7.

This is particularly relevant with Pep Guardiola's first post-international break task coming in the form of Sean Dyche’s Burnley - at Turf Moor.
Turf Moor is normally a ground which strikes fear into opposition supporters' minds when it’s mentioned on the calendar. It’s one that's often referred to as a bogey ground, with the Clarets known to sit deep and dig in to nullify any of the opposition’s attacking threat.
But do Guardiola’s side have anything to fear this time around, with nothing but a win necessary in such a tight title-tussle with Liverpool? Let’s look at the numbers surrounding the Blues’ recent trips to Lancashire.
Guardiola has never lost a game against Burnley – whether that’s at home or away, in any competition. He also boasts a 13-4 aggregate scoreline in his six visits to Turf Moor, with some crucial victories along the way.
Many City fans' brains will be conditioned to flick back to that nerve-wracking game in the 2018/19 season.
