Alistair Bruce-Ball is joined by Tim Krul, Nedum Onuoha, Curtis Davies and, Clinton Morrison as Manchester City go top of the Premier League following a 1-0 win at Burnley. The result leaves Pep Guardiola’s side level on points with Arsenal, but above on goals scored with just five games remaining of the season.

Alistair Bruce-Ball reacts to the news with BBC Senior Football Correspondent Sami Mokbel, former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin, former team mate of Rosenior, Curtis Davies and, Chelsea fan Alex Churchill.
