The Premier League season returns and with it, Manchester City travel to Turf Moor to face a Burnley side managed by none other than Vincent Kompany.
Both teams come into the new season off the bat of very successful campaigns last time out, with Manchester City winning a historic treble of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champion's League, while Burnley exceeded all expectations, including their own, in making a swift and decisive return to the Premier League. Both teams have a lot to prove if they're to replicate the success of last season.
It's always difficult to predict the opening day, yet history very much favours the Manchester side of this North-West clash. City have won all 6 of the last 6 meetings between the 2 sides in all competitions, keeping clean sheets in all 6 of those games too. Most recently was a 6 - 0 mauling, as City swept Burnley aside in March en-route to their FA Cup victory.
With all this in mind, a 2 - 1 Manchester City win seems likely!
Boring boring City, imagine in the first game playing so destructively killing...
