Burnley vs Man City: Premier League prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h, odds today

Marc Mayo11 August 2023

Manchester City travel to Burnley tonight in the opening fixture of the new Premier League season.

Pep Guardiola’s Treble winners have little left to prove in terms of their supremacy in the modern game yet few would bet against them continuing their utter dominance by getting off to a fine start to this campaign.

Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol are the new faces in City’s team after the departures of Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez, with Erling Haaland out to better his immaculate record of 36 goals in just 35 league games last year.

Burnley - led by City icon Vincent Kompany - have bolstered their squad after winning the Championship and count former City youth product James Trafford among their main investments.

Turf Moor will be rocking in hope, rather than expectiation, of a major upset to set the tone for what we all hope will be a fascinating season ahead.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Burnley vs Man City is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off tonight on Friday August 11, 2023.

The match will take place at Turf Moor in Burnley, Lancashire.
