Burnley 0-1 Man City LIVE: Haaland scores with first touch as Citizens grab early lead

Man City dominated in all competitions last campaign, winning the league, FA Cup and Champions League title.

Pep Guardiola has since lost his captain Ilkay Gundogan but has added some new faces to his side in Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol.

Meanwhile, City legend Kompany led Burnley to the Championship title and will now take to the dugout in the Premier League against his former boss.

15′ - Koleosho not far away from a debut goal!

Burnley win the ball high up the field in the centre.

He could shoot but finds Koleosho in a better position and his shot flies over the bar.

13′ - Walker shows why City are so desperate to keep him with his express pace to stop Foster getting in.

A miss-hit Ake clearance rebounds over Akanji and Foster looks to be in, but Walker eats up the yards to get in front of him.

10′ - De Bruyne plays a one-two with Rodri and finds space on the left.

He whips a sublime cross into the area and Haaland sticks out a leg.

For once, he doesn't make clean contact and it's a goal kick for the hosts.

That would have been a stunning finish.

Townsend: "That's a rude awakening for the Burnley boys - welcome back to the Premier League."

Ooooooooooooooo, Turf Moor is up for this one!

The crowd are already in full voice and they really fancy an upset here.

Burnley have been in the Premier League plenty of times, but rarely has there been so much positivity around the club and you can feel it cascading from the stands.

Burnley vs Man City

James Trafford was a star of England Under-21s' Euros win earlier this summer.

The young goalkeeper didn't concede a goal and saved a penalty in the final against Spain.

His passing out from the back was brilliant and he's a big presence in goal.

You would expect he will have a busy evening, but he looks a top prospect.

Burnley vs Man City

Vincent Kompany is set to become the first Belgian to manage in the Premier League - no Burnley manager has ever won their first Premier League game in charge of the Clarets (D1 L3).

Burnley vs Man City

Both sets of players are now out warming up.

Just over 20 minutes until what could be one of the best Premier League seasons ever gets underway.

You just have to look at the strength of the teams in the division to realise that, despite the threat of Saudi Arabia, the Premier League is still home to the best.

How is Vincent Kompany going to approach this?

The Clarets played some delightful possession-based football last year and steamrolled their way to the title.

They have strengthened the squad after losing loanees like Nathan Tella and Ian Maatsen, but are they going to try and play like the 'old Burnley' or stick to their principles?

It's seriously fascinating.

"We want them to know they will be welcomed by our fans.

Burnley vs Man City: Pre-match facts

Burnley's starting XI has an average age of just 23 years and 206 days, the youngest line-up they've ever named in the Premier League and the youngest a manager - Vincent Kompany - has ever named in his first game in the competition.

Manchester City have won their opening Premier League game in 12 of the last 14 seasons, with both exceptions coming against Tottenham Hotspur (0-0 in 2010-11, 0-1 in 2021-22).

Burnley lost just one home league game in 2022-23 (W16 D6), going down 2-1 against QPR in April. However, as a Premier League side they've lost five of their last eight at Turf Moor (W3).

Just over 30 minutes until the 2023/24 Premier League season gets underway and you have to wonder how many goals Erling Haaland is going to score this year?

He was City's top scorer by absolutely miles last year.
