Preview & Prediction: Burnley FC vs Manchester City FC

The upcoming Premier League clash on 11th August 2023 brings Burnley FC against Manchester City FC. The prior encounter concluded with Burnley trailing at 1 against City’s 2. In their history of 20 contests, Burnley has clinched just one win while City dominated with 16 victories, and three games have ended in a stalemate. As per current form, Burnley shows moderate home performance, and Manchester City exhibits an average away form.

Historically, games between these two scored an average of 3.75 goals, and both teams scored (BTTS) in 40% of their matches. Analyzing their current season’s statistics, Burnley has accumulated an average of 2.25 points in home games, whereas Manchester City averages 1.6 points on the road.

Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City was unexpectedly named to the matchday squad for the Community Shield after suffering an injury during the Champions League final. He came off the bench but missed a penalty in the shootout. The Belgian’s cameo gives the visitors hope that Nathan Ake will be the last remaining question when he is deemed fit to start this game. In order to match his record numbers from his first season in England, when he scored an unbelievable total of 36 goals in just 35 matches, Erling Haaland will be the line leader. Walker, who is reportedly leaning towards staying at Manchester City despite interest from Bayern Munich, might start at right back, while newcomer Gvardiol might need some time to establish himself in the first team lineup.

Joao Cancelo has returned to the team and played in preseason, so he might be a left-back option, though Manuel Akanji is more likely to start there. Kovacic may replace Gundogan in the starting lineup on a like-for-like basis right away. Burnley will be missing one of their recent additions, Obafemi, after he was had to have hamstring surgery. However, they might start a number of other newcomers, including Trafford in goal against his old team. Berge just came from Sheffield United on Wednesday, so it’s possible he won’t make the starting lineup right away. However, Beyer, O’Shea, Redmond, and Zaroury may. Burnley’s biggest difficulty will be replacing Nathan Tella’s goals, who has returned to his former team Southampton. Kompany may choose to start Jay Rodriguez, an experienced line leader, to lead the line in this first game.
