Guardiola keen to crack Conte's secrets

Pep Guardiola will try to craft a masterplan to tackle Antonio Conte's Chelsea after Manchester City battled past Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola hopes back-to-back battling away wins can set his side up for next weekend's crunch Premier League clash against Chelsea.

Sergio Aguero nursed a foot injury to hit a brace that saw City come from behind to beat Burnley 2-1 on Saturday, seven days on from triumphing by the same scoreline at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace.

The visitors struggled for fluency and intensity as Dean Marney's excellent 25-yard volley illuminated the early stages and they were indebted to Aguero taking his tally for the season in all competitions to 16 via a pair of penalty box scrambles – "beautiful goals" according to his manager, a man celebrated for producing football generally more easy on the eye.
