Burnley vs Man City Lineups and Last Match
Burnley
Burnley will have high hopes that they can repeat Fulham's feats of last season and not only stay up this season but stay well clear of the relegation zone. The Clarets play a new style of football under Kompany, one that will make them a very difficult team to play against at Turf Moore. Michael Obafemi won't feature for the hosts in their opening game against Man City due to a thigh injury.
Predicted Lineup – Trafford (GK), Roberts, Al-Dakhil, Beyer, O'Shea, Brownhill, Redmond, Gudmundsson, Koleosho, Zaroury & Foster
Man City
Man City lost the Community Shield last weekend on penalties and while none of the Citizens' faithful will be that disappointed or concerned by the shootout defeat to Arsenal, all 3pts will be demanded on Friday night against a side many expect to be battling relegation this season. Nathan Ake is a slight doubt for the visitors but that is the only injury concern so Guardiola basically has a full-strength squad to choose from.
Predicted Lineup – Ederson (GK), Laporte, Dias, Stones, Walker, Rodri, Grealish, Silva, Foden, Alvarez & Haaland
Starting Lineups

*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Erling Haaland
All eyes are likely to be on Haaland this Friday but maybe not for the usual reasons.
Man City's Norwegian striker is going through his first goal drought in the Premier League and many will be keen to see how he performs against Burnley on Friday after failing to make an impact in the Community Shield against Arsenal.
Nobody can doubt Haaland's ability and just how wonderful he performed in his first Premier League season but the latter stages of the campaign saw the 23-year-old's form dip and naturally, people will want to know if the former Dortmund forward can maintain such high standards in a very demanding league.
