Burnley mark their return to the Premier League on Friday night with a home fixture against the champions Manchester City at Turf Moor on Kilamity live stream.
It feels almost serendipitous that Vincent Kompany’s first game as a Premier League manager will come against the club at which he became a legend as a player, making 360 appearances for over a 10-year spell.
The Citizens were history-makers last season in winning a Treble, but a visit to Turf Moor may be seen as a tricky one to start the season with, as the Clarets will be in high spirits following last year’s domination of the Championship. However, as the odds suggest, Pep Guardiola’s men are the much stronger side and should take all three points to get yet another defence of their Premier League title underway.
This will be the first time the reigning Premier League champions are playing the very first match of the season since 2016/17, when Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester lost 2-1 at newly promoted Hull City.
